In parting message to ministers, Eisenkot says it is in Israel’s interest to strengthen PA security forces
In his final appearance before the cabinet today, outgoing IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot tells ministers that it is in Israel’s interest to strengthen and work with the Palestinian Authority security forces.
Channel 10 reports that Eisenkot told the cabinet that even over the past few days, the PA security forces have thwarted Hamas terror attacks targeting Israelis.
While the IDF chief acknowledged that the PA has its own interest in going after Hamas, their efforts still play out in Israel’s favor.
