Israeli police detained Palestinian Minister Ashraf al-Aawar at his home. An official from the minister's office said no reason was given during the procedure.
Al-Aawar was released on bail a few hours later. The Jerusalem Governorate also announced that the minister had been released on bail.
Israeli authorities did not explain why al-Aawar was detained.
West Bank entry ban extended
Israeli authorities banned al-Aawar from entering the West Bank last year. The decision was later extended.
