A Palestinian Authority (PA) Arab will be tried by the PA for trading with Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria, after a 10-ton load of watermelon from the Jordan Valley was confiscated at a Bethlehem-area roadblock on Monday.
Bethlehem district customs official Amin Abu-Akel said a commission has been established by the government and preventative security service to supervise the destruction of merchandise from the Jewish communities.
