Palestinian security forces in the West Bank, coordinating with Israeli occupation forces, are pursuing activist Samer Samara from Tubas through a "revolving door" policy of arrest and release, Shehab Wire reported. Days after his release from Palestinian Authority detention—where he had been held for approximately seven months—Samara faces renewed pressure from authorities working in coordination with occupation forces.
The practice reflects a broader pattern in which Palestinian security agencies and Israeli forces operate in tandem to track and detain individuals targeted by both sides. Samara and his family remain subject to the cycle of arrest, detention, and release that characterizes the policy, according to the report.
