      Peace House Seller Arrested


      An Arab man who sold the Peace House building in Hevron to Jews has been arrested by the Palestinian Authority.  Faez Rajabi is accused of selling property to Jews, a capital offense under the Jordanian laws used by the PA.

      Rajabi and another Arab were previously arrested for selling the house, but Rajabi claimed that the sale documents were forged and insisted that he had not sold the building.  Rajabi then insisted that Israel expel Jews from the building and return it to him.  The Jewish community responded by releasing a film on Tuesday in which Rajabi is seen selling the building.
