The head of the IDF’s Central Command Yehuda Fox warns of the possibility that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank will take to the streets in protest against Israel.
“Readiness for escalation is fundamental. We must improve our [readiness] every day. There may be an event (whether Israel is to blame or not) that will cause hundreds of thousands to take to the streets. This needs to be imagined and prepared for in all respects,” Fox says in a statement regarding IDF preparations for the month of Ramadan, which begins around March 10.
