RAJOUB: I am the head of the preventive security in the West Bank. [Only] 18 percent of the areas are under my jurisdiction. In areas where we can move–area A [areas controlled only by the Palestinian Authority]–the ceasefire is respected.
We cannot stop such things.
If the Israelis arrest the settlers and soldiers who killed innocent Palestinians during the last six months, I think it is fair to ask the Palestinians to do the same.
He has control over the areas under his jurisdiction.
It is unfair to raise such an issue. When they attacked our police station in Nablus where [Hamas leader] Abu Hanud was, they killed 12 Palestinian policemen. After that, how could I keep a prisoner in a prison?
There is a conflict about a lot of important things. For this reason we are asking to have a third party–whether it is the CIA, the U.N. or Europe–come and judge whether we are violating the agreements and whether the Israelis are.
Do you think that Israel could live forever in this situation?
