Ahronoth: A venal senior PA official stopped a probe into selling lands to Jews
[ 20/04/2009 - 04:37 PM ]
RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper revealed that a senior PA official holding an oversight post pressured the PA security apparatuses, at the behest of Israeli parties, to close an investigation into the issue of selling Palestinian lands and real estate in occupied Jerusalem to Jews.
The newspaper said the investigations, before being closed, led to the discovery of underground rings and individuals who worked as brokers purchasing real estate in Jerusalem for the benefit of Jewish groups and organizations, adding that this PA official took bribes from Jewish parties in order to use his clout on the security apparatuses to stop their investigation into this file.
The newspaper added that Israeli officials also pressed for the stop of investigations into this file, where all the detainees arrested because of their involvement in this issue were released later.
In another context, the Palestinian center for human rights on Sunday held the PA health minister in Ramallah responsible for breach of the agreement reached between the two health ministries in Gaza and the West Bank on the issue of the medical treatment provided for Gaza patients abroad.
In a statement received by the PIC, the center called on ex-PA chief Mahmoud Abbas to urgently intervene to reactivate the department of medical treatment abroad which stopped providing services three weeks ago, resulting in the death of 10 patients and threaten many others who need to travel for treatment.
