Ghaith had been in detention for 24 hours and was released on a bail of 10,000 shekels ($3,300), Arab48 reported.
Ghaith was banned by the Israeli occupation from travelling abroad via Allenby (King Hussein) Bridge between the occupation state and Jordan.

The PA official has had repeated orders issued by Israel stopping him from travelling and moving within the occupied Palestinian territories and contacting Palestinian officials.

The PA official has been arrested several times by Israeli occupation authorities since he assumed office as Governor of Jerusalem in August 2018.
