Palestinians sources said that Muna, her husband and three of their children were stopped at temporary roadblock and detained for two hours. Her husband, they said, was also subjected to physical abuse from the Israeli officers.
Officials from the Judea and Samaria District Police said that security officers from Maale Adumim were unable to locate the vehicle's license plate number on the database of authorized cars and therefore conducted a search of the vehicle.
The policemen further grew suspicious after they compared the car's vehicle identification number to their database and found it was registered to another vehicle. Qureia's son-in-law was then asked by the police to accompany them to the nearby police station to sort out the discrepancy.
According to the police, after this exchange Qureia's daughter exited the vehicle and began shouting at the security officers, even kicking one of them. Police said that after her identity had been verified, Muna was informed she was free to go and did not have to accompany her husband to the police station.
The officers further said that while en route to the police station, the husband spoke incessantly on his mobile phone without using an earpiece - which is unlawful in Israel - and was therefore issued a citation for the violation upon arrival to the station.
Last week, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni apologized to Ahmed Qureia after his team of negotiators was stopped at an IDF checkpoint north of Jerusalem on their way to a meeting with their Israeli counterparts as the two sides continue to draft a joint declaration for the Annapolis peace conference.
