Palestinian security forces arrested a Palestinian military liaison officer from his home in Jenin on Saturday, a day after he shared a post on his Facebook criticizing Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' participation in the funeral of former Israeli president Shimon Peres.

A member of Osama Abu Arab’s family told Ma’an via telephone that large numbers of Palestinian security officers surrounded Abu Asab’s home Saturday morning and took him into custody.

The source highlighted that hours before Abu Arab was arrested, he was notified that he was suspended from his work as a major in the Palestinian Authority military liaison office.The military liaison is a unit with the Palestinian security forces responsible for coordinating security with Israel.

The caller also said that the family believed Abu Arab was suspended from his work and arrested as a result of a post he published on his Facebook page asking Abbas to reconsider his decision to attend Peres’ funeral.

Genocide advocate Ayelet Shaked revives Peres plan for West Bank

Ayelet Shaked, Israel’s justice minister, faced protests as she spoke to law students and professors at Columbia University’s law school on 19 September.

In a secret audio recording taken during the closed event, Shaked can be heard seeking to revive a discredited idea long championed by Shimon Peres, the leading Israeli politician who died this week.

The idea is that a deal could be struck with Jordan to push Palestinians under its jurisdiction as Israel maintains effective control over the occupied West Bank.

A key objective behind Peres’ plan – the so-called Jordanian option – was to sideline the Palestine Liberation Organization and neuter Palestinian resistance to Israel. Palestinians saw it as an affront to their right of self-determination.

Shaked denies Israel is an occupier, claiming that the West Bank is merely “territory under dispute.”https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/genocide-advocate-ayelet-shaked-revives-peres-plan-west-bank

Shimon Peres was no peacemaker. I’ll never forget the sight of pouring blood and burning bodies at Qana

Peres said the massacre came as a ‘bitter surprise’. It was a lie: the UN had repeatedly told Israel the camp was packed with refugees

Palestinians Criticize Abbas for Attending Peres’ Funeral, Shaking Netanyahu’s Hand

“Palestinians despise Peres more than they despise [former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon,” he said. “Sharon may have starved the Palestinians, but Peres besieged them with his soft-spoken rhetoric. That’s worse.”
