Security chiefs have several times warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent days that the West Bank is on the brink of a major escalation, Channel 12 reports.
The heightened concern comes on the heels of Israel’s withholding of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenues that belong to the PA in addition to refusing to allow some 150,000 Palestinian workers return to their jobs in Israel and the settlements, Channel 12 says, noting Netanyahu’s refusal to hold security cabinet votes to reverse both decisions, given pressure from his far-right coalition partners.
