Israeli analyst: Night raids should 'continue for years' after peace

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- A military analyst said Friday that night raids and arrests in the West Bank "should continue for years" even after the signing of an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.

"The Palestinian opposition to the night arrests does not matter," military and security correspondent Roni Daniel told Israeli Channel 2. "Night arrests should continue for years even if there is a peace agreement."

Daniel added: "We arrest stone throwers. If we stop detaining them, the stones will turn to bullets."

Issa Qaraqe, Palestinian Authority minister of prisoners' affairs, told Ma'an that the PA completely rejects this view.

During US-moderated peace negotiations with Israel, Qaraqe said the US proposed a continued Israeli security presence in the Palestinian state after a peace agreement is reached.
