Palestinian Authority police operated overnight in the heart of Area C, on the Beitunia bypass road in western Binyamin, despite being prohibited from operating there.
The officers detained an IDF reservist who was traveling on the road toward the Dolev-Talmonim bloc and even took his military-issued weapon.
Miraculously, the soldier was unharmed.
The Binyamin Regional Council strongly protested a statement by the Civil Administration, which chose to point an accusing finger at the resident, claiming that he had traveled through a dangerous area, rather than addressing the prohibited activity of PA police in Area C.
Binyamin Regional Council head and Yesha Council chairman Israel Ganz responded: "The serious incident overnight proves once again that the Oslo Accords have long since become a meaningless piece of paper."
"It is inconceivable that [Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud] Abbas' police officers can operate in Area C in violation of the agreements, detain an IDF reservist and take his weapon, while the State of Israel instead blames the Israeli who was traveling on the road.
"The time has come to recognize reality, cancel the Oslo Accords, and allow settlement and free movement in the open areas throughout Binyamin, Judea and Samaria. At the same time, I call on decision-makers to act immediately to open a safe and secure route between the Dolev-Talmonim bloc and Highway 443."
