Foreign nationals face possible deportation after arrest in West Bank alongside Palestinians
According to a police statement, the incident occurred on Saturday after authorities received a report of a disturbance in the Samaria region.
Fourteen foreign nationals and three Palestinians were arrested on Saturday near Ras Karkar in the West Bank, following allegations of involvement in disturbances and potential violation of a lawful order, according to the Israel Police. The incident occurred after authorities received reports of unrest in the Samaria region, prompting IDF troops and Border Police officers to respond and detain 17 suspects on suspicion of provoking confrontations and promoting media campaigns against Israel.
The investigation, conducted in collaboration with the foreign nationals desk of the Judea and Samaria District Police, revealed suspicions that some of the suspects supported the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and expressed allegiance to anti-Israel organizations. Following the completion of questioning, the investigation materials were forwarded to the Population and Immigration Authority for hearings and decisions on potential deportation from Israel.
Police stated that this action was part of a broader effort to prevent similar incidents across Judea and Samaria during the olive harvest season and beyond. The Judea and Samaria District Police vowed to continue combating activities perceived as incitement, agitation, and identification with terrorist organizations to maintain public safety.
