Aide to Palestinian Authority’s Saeb Erekat ‘suspected of spying for Israel’

‘Palestinian officials said Sunday they had arrested a member of their peace negotiating department for spying for Israel, a development likely to deepen distrust between the sides at a time of deadlocked diplomacy and simmering street violence.

The man, whose name was not released, is part of the management staff in the umbrella Palestinian Liberation Organisation’s (PLO) negotiations department and is accused of “collaborating with Israel”, a security official told Reuters.

Another official said the suspect had been arrested two weeks ago.
