Israel issues a stern warning to PA

  • PDF

pal-flag2West Bank, April 14, (Pal Telegraph) The Israeli military issued a stern warning to the Palestinian Authority recently, in order to cool off and ease the work of "violence" in the West Bank, particularly those carried out on the security fence fearing that those acts will come out of control and turn into escalation.

Colonel Avi Mizrahi, commander of the Army’s Central Region, instructed to take several steps to change the status quo in the West Bank.

According to Israeli newspaper, Yedioth Ahronot, that there is a state of complacency in the ranks of the Israeli army over the security coordination that exists with the Palestinian security apparatuses in the West Bank.

The newspaper also pointed out that this coordination was fruitful on the ground, despite the resentment of the weekly-repeated scenes in both Bil'in and Ni'lin, near Ramallah, which is punctuated by clashes.

The IOF officials are expressing concerns about PA officials calling the public to conduct more peaceful demonstrations which sometimes end with stoning and throwing Molotov ( as the IOF claims), which is done to attract the media’s attention.

The IOF declared that these actions aren’t accepted and wont be tolerated so they better stop them now.

The IOF sources said: "We are fine with protests of patriotic songs and banners, but not the ones with stoning that would kill sometimes”.

The PA didn’t take this warning seriously and decided to remind Israel of the side that uses rubber and live bullets during peaceful demonstrations and confirming that the Palestinians have the right to demonstrate for their rights.
