Palestine denies security coordination with Israel
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA): A Palestinian official has denied Israeli media reports about security coordination with Tel Aviv.
On Monday, the Israeli army launched its largest military operation in Jenin in more than 20 years, killing at least 10 Palestinians and injuring more than 100 others, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
In protest against the Israeli offensive, the Palestinian Authority decided to suspend all forms of contacts and security coordination with Tel Aviv.
But Israeli media reports suggested that security coordination between Ramallah and Tel Aviv was still going on.
“The Palestinian security apparatus are committed by the decision of the Palestinian leadership to halt security coordination with Israel,” the Palestinian official, who preferred to remain unnamed, told the state news agency Wafa on Tuesday.
He said the Israeli reports about security coordination aimed to “create confusion”.
