These attacks, \u200dwhich have been eulogized by\u200d the PA and its ruling Fatah party, expose the extent to which the internationally recognized Palestinian government encourages and rewards terrorism against Israel, \u200deven within its\u200c own ranks.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063findings have significant\u200c implications for the Biden administration&#8217;s proposal to allow a &#8220;revitalized&#8221; PA to govern Gaza following Israel&#8217;s recent war against Hamas. Itamar Marcus, the director of Palestinian Media Watch, has sent a report titled &#8220;Terrorists in\u200c Uniform: A study of PA Security Forces involvement in terror&#8221; to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, urging the administration to reconsider its\u2062 support for the PA security\u2063 services.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus argues that empowering\u200c these terror \u2063forces to\u2062 rule \u200dGaza is inconceivable, \u2062as they \u2063are a\u2063 fundamental part of \u200bthe problem rather than the\u2064 solution. He goes further by \u200ccalling on the Biden administration to reverse its reinstatement \u2064of $45 million in\u2064 annual funding to the PA\u2063 security services, citing the recent freezing\u200d of donations to the\u2063 United Nations Relief and Works Agency\u200c due to staff involvement\u200b in attacks.<\/p>\n<h3>PA Security Forces: A Threat Within<\/h3>\n<p>The\u2064 PA&#8217;s complicity \u200din\u200c terrorism\u200c goes beyond its security\u200d forces. The organization actively promotes\u2063 violence against Israel through\u200b education and financial rewards for \u2063terrorists. Brig. Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, a former director general of Israel&#8217;s Ministry of Strategic\u2064 Affairs, highlights the PA&#8217;s &#8220;pay for slay&#8221; program, which guarantees\u2063 salaries for imprisoned Security Forces members \u2064and\u200d financial support for their families\u2063 if they are killed.<\/p>\n<p>Fatah, the ruling party, has even published posters honoring members of the PA\u2064 security forces who died\u200c after carrying out attacks on Israelis. The PA and Fatah proudly \u200bpublicize these acts of terror, considering them heroic contributions to the fight\u200d against Israel.<\/p>\n<h3>A Growing Threat<\/h3>\n<p>The scale of the \u200cthreat posed by PA security forces remains uncertain, as the Israeli government and Prison Service decline to \u200bcomment. However, attempted terrorist attacks in the West Bank have significantly increased\u200b since October 7,\u200c with over 700 foiled by the\u2064 Israel \u200cDefense Forces (IDF). The IDF is prepared for any\u200b scenario, training extensively to ensure they are not caught off guard.<\/p>\n<p>While the PA Security\u2062 Forces may pose a relatively \u2064minor threat in terms of counterterrorism efforts, their promotion of violence and terrorism against Israel remains a significant concern. The Biden administration must carefully reconsider its support for the \u200bPA and its security services, taking into account the\u200d evidence\u2063 of their involvement in \u200cattacks on Israelis.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How can the international community\u2063 hold the Palestinian Authority accountable for its role\u2063 in inciting and \u200drewarding terrorism, and what steps should be taken \u2062to address the deeply ingrained culture of violence within the Palestinian political establishment<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Za could potentially lead to a dangerous\u200b escalation of violence \u200dand further undermine any prospects for a peaceful\u200c resolution to the \u200dIsraeli-Palestinian\u2063 conflict. He points out that the PA&#8217;s glorification of these attacks creates a culture \u200bof hatred and\u2062 incitement, effectively legitimizing the use of violence as a means of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hybrid-warfare-is-one-term-with-many-meanings\/\" title=\"\u201cHybrid Warfare\u201d Is One Term With Many Meanings\">achieving political objectives<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The examples provided\u2063 by Palestinian Media Watch demonstrate the brazenness of\u200b these attacks. In one\u200d incident, \u200ban off-duty PA security officer\u2062 stabbed an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint, while in another, a group of off-duty PA police officers \u200copened fire on an Israeli\u200b vehicle, injuring the driver. These are not isolated\u200b incidents but rather part of a \u2062pattern of violence that has been consistently celebrated\u2062 by the Palestinian \u200cleadership.<\/p>\n<p>It is \u200dworth\u200b noting that\u200c these attacks are not carried out by rogue elements within the security forces but rather by individuals who are part of the PA&#8217;s official ranks. This raises serious questions about the level of control\u200b and oversight within the PA security apparatus and the extent to which \u200dthese individuals are acting upon\u200d official orders.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2062implications of these revelations\u2062 are twofold. Firstly, they demonstrate the urgent\u2063 need for the international community to \u2064scrutinize its support for the PA and hold it accountable for its role in inciting and\u200c rewarding terrorism. Secondly, they underscore the importance of ensuring that any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/if-america-pushes-for-a-total-ukraine-victory-it-could-mean-nuclear-war\/\" title=\"If America Pushes for a \u201cTotal\u201d Ukraine Victory it Could Mean Nuclear War\">future peace negotiations<\/a> take into account the deeply \u200cingrained culture of violence within \u200dthe Palestinian political establishment.<\/p>\n<p>This issue \u200cis particularly relevant in light of \u2064the Biden administration&#8217;s push for \u200da \u2063revitalized PA to govern Gaza. While \u200dthe stated goal \u2064may be to promote\u2062 stability and development in the region, the reality is that empowering an entity that openly\u200c celebrates terrorism creates a \u2063fertile ground for further violence and unrest. It is essential for the Biden administration to reassess its approach and consider the potential consequences of\u2063 its support for the PA security \u200dforces.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the documented attacks carried out by off-duty PA \u2062security forces against Israelis serve as a stark reminder of\u2064 the Palestinian leadership&#8217;s continued support for and glorification of terrorism. They expose the PA&#8217;s complicity in encouraging violence \u200band undermine the prospects\u200b for a\u200d peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The international community, and particularly the Biden administration, must reevaluate its support for \u2062the PA security services and prioritize\u200d the promotion\u200b of peace and stability in\u2063 the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forces on Israelis.
