<div id="divLead">Israel  has released a Palestinian Authority (PA) politician, Abd al-Jaber  Fuqaha, after he was held over false accusations in a prison in the  Negev desert for 27 months.</div>
<p>Fuqaha was released on Thursday at the al-Thahiriya checkpoint near al-Khalil (Hebron), south of the occupied West Bank, <em>Middle East Monitor</em> reported on Friday.</p>
<p>&#8220;The occupation regime and their supporters are mistaken in their  actions in this respect because the arrest and harassment of  (Palestinian) politicians do nothing but increase their persistence  towards realization of the dreams and aspirations of the people,&#8221; he  told reporters.</p>
<p>&#8220;The greatest concern for prisoners was the issue of the internal  division in the Palestinian community,&#8221; Fuqaha went on to say.</p>
<p>The PA politician further called for national unity.</p>
<p>&#8220;The greatest obstacle to popular unity is the security partnership  and coordination between the Palestinian Authority and the Zionist  occupation regime.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that the PA must end cooperation with the Israelis and embrace its own people.</p>
<p>According to Fuqaha, Hamas officials have outstretched their hands  of friendship to the Fatah leadership for reconciliation, but no action  has yet been taken.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Palestinian human rights sources have reported that the  wife of Sheikh Jamal al-Tawil, head of the al-Bireh municipality and a  leader within the Hamas movement, was released from an Israeli jail on  Thursday.</p>
<p>The 42-year-old activist, Muntaha al-Tawil, had been held in  administrative detention since February 8, 2010. Her detention was  extended four times in twelve months, a source said.</p>
