The Palestinian Authority security services on Sunday arrested Mohammed Saber Jaber, a resident of Hebron, who hosted MK Yehuda Glick (Likud) at his home on Eid al-Adha (holiday of the sacrifice) a week ago.

According to Ha’aretz, Jaber’s relative issued announcements in mosques and on social networks that they are boycotting him because he allowed Glick into his home.

Glick said Jabbar’s arrest was senseless and once again proves that the Palestinian Authority doesn’t want peace.

“He’s a peace activist whom I met via the head of the Ahmadiyya community in Haifa,” Glick said, referring to the Ahmadiyya sect of Islam. “I went to wish him a happy holiday on Id al-Adha, and I regret that this is what happened.”

He added that he has asked the head of the army’s Central Command and other Israeli officials to urge the PA to release Jabbar immediately.

Palestinians view Glick as a radical right-wing activist because he visits the Temple Mount regularly and has long campaigned for Jews to be allowed to pray there.

The Palestinian security services didn’t say why Jabbar was arrested or what, if any, crime he is suspected of. But sources close to the Hebron branch of the Palestinian police said they assumed he was arrested for meeting with Glick.
