The Palestinian Authority has so far refused to take any measures to help Israel in Jenin and Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz.
Following a long period without communication, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas recently spoke with senior Israeli officials. Sources who were privy to the conversations told that newspaper that Abbas does not intend to take any action to support Israel in Jenin and Nablus.
Long overseeing security coordination with Israel, the Palestinian Authority believes it has no reason to help the far-right government, which has rejected any political negotiations and have actively worked to bury the two-state solution, especially through accelerated settlement expansion, the newspaper explained.
Haaretz suggested that Israel is still willing to carry out a military operation in Jenin, regardless of coordination with the Palestinian Authority.
While the development of missiles and explosive devices in the area could be the spark for such an operation, Haaretz also pointed to the recent use of armed drones as a possible alternative to a full-scale operation.
