The Netanyahu government is studying its reaction to the Palestinian State Recognition Wave in the UN General Assembly with drastic measures against the Palestinian Authority on the West Bank.
Although the Israeli KYSEA decided at its meeting yesterday to postpone a “younger” decision to partially or total attachment of the West Bank as a means of reaction to a possible wave of unilateral diplomatic recognitions of the independent Palestinian state. Indeed, as state-of-the-art Israeli television reported in its central news release yesterday, during yesterday’s closed inter-ministerial meeting examining what countermeasures would receive Israel in the event of mass recognitions, the Ben-Gvir and Smotry ministers.
“Destroy the Palestinian Authority”
According to intra-government sources, the Minister of National Security?, Ithamar Ben-Gvir, during the meeting suggested that the army invade the Palestinian Authority areas, “even if this would have resulted in the relations between Israel and Saudi.” At the same time, Finance Minister Betsalel Smotric was in favor of the annexation of either the entire West Bank or 82% of its area (“B” and “C” areas, as set out by Oslo Agreements), on the grounds that “they are already under control”. He added that if the Palestinian Authority reacts, “then Israel should invade the areas under it and destroy the Palestinian Authority, as it destroyed Hamas in Gaza.”
On the contrary, ministers coming from Likud expressed their complete opposition to any idea of ​​annexation. On the other hand, Defense Minister Israel Kats, Foreign Minister Ginton Saar and army officials who attended the meeting allegedly avoided expressing a specific view. However, final decisions on the suggestions of the government’s “extremes” were not taken, and, as it became known, the meeting will continue in the coming days.
