Netanyahu does not rule out the outbreak of war with the Palestinian Authority in West Bank

Today, Tuesday, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation quoted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as saying that the scenario of war breaking out between Palestinian security in the West Bank and the Israeli army is on the table of the government and security services and is being prepared for it if it occurs.


The Broadcasting Authority explained that Netanyahu made these statements during a secret session of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee in the Israeli Knesset yesterday.


During the closed session, members of the Knesset asked Netanyahu about the possibility of such a scenario occurring, and he said: “Such a scenario is known to us and is on the table. We are discussing it.” “We want to reach a situation where if such an incident occurs, within a few minutes there will be helicopters in the air responding to such an incident.”


In the same session, Netanyahu attacked the Oslo peace agreement with the Palestinians, describing it as a disaster.


He added: "The Oslo Accords are the fundamental mistake. It brought the most anti-Zionist and most anti-Jewish people here."


The day before yesterday, Netanyahu rejected international calls to end the war in the Gaza Strip, describing them as inconsistent with supporting the war goal of eliminating the Hamas movement.


Netanyahu said in a testimony before his government that he told the leaders of France, Germany and other countries: “You cannot support the elimination of Hamas on the one hand, and on the other hand pressure us to end the war, which would prevent the elimination of Hamas.”
