Report: Netanyahu opposes far-right attempts to cause Palestinian Authority’s collapse
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly said he’s in favor of strengthening the Palestinian Authority, even as his far-right coalition partners Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir openly seek to advance moves against Ramallah that could cause the PA’s collapse.
“We can’t ignore the actions and activity of the Palestinian Authority, they have considerable advantages for Israel,” Netanyahu has said in recent private meetings with his coalition partners, according to Channel 12 news.
“The collapse of the PA is not in Israel’s interest at this time. We need to advance actions that stabilize the PA, in order to prevent an escalation in the streets,” he reportedly added.
