GAZA, May 29 (Xinhua) -- Israeli security forces arrested Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haneya's daughter at the Erez Crossing on the Gaza-Israel border, sources at Haneya's office revealed Monday.
The sources said that Haneya's daughter, who was traveling with families and relatives of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, was to visit her fianc¨¦ imprisoned in an Israeli jail in the southern Israeli town of Beer Sheva.
Haneya's office contacted officials in the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Gaza and in Jerusalem to interfere and release Haneya's daughter.
The Israeli security forces said that the girl was stopped at Erez because she carried a fake identity card.
Every Monday, and in coordination with the ICRC, the Israeli army allows families to visit their imprisoned family members in Israeli jails. Enditem |
