The Palestinian Authority freed Ihab Salameh after two years in detention, only for Israeli forces to arrest him hours later, Shehab Wire reported. Salameh's father accused the Authority of coordinating his transfer to Israeli custody and said his son was denied contact with his mother during PA detention.
The family's allegations of coordination between the Palestinian Authority and Israeli forces sparked anger, as Salameh moved directly from PA custody to Israeli custody without a period of freedom.
