Ben-Gvir calls for immediate dismantling of Palestinian Authority
Far-right 'Israeli' National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take swift action to dismantle the Palestinian Authority (PA), based in Ramallah.
In a post on his X account on Sunday, Ben-Gvir urged Netanyahu to 'bring immediate operative measures to the next cabinet meeting to dismantle the Palestinian Authority."
אפנה לראש הממשלה בבקשה להביא לישיבת הקבינט הקרובה צעדים אופרטיביים מידיים למיטוט הרשות הפלסטינית.
זה צריך להיות המענה לפנטזיות של המחבל אבו מאזן על "מדינה פלסטינית" - ריסוק רשות הטרור שבראשה הוא עומדת.

He described this as a necessary response to what he called "the terrorist Abu Mazen's [Mahmoud Abbas] fantasies of a 'Palestinian state,' crushing the terror authority he heads."
Reports have surfaced that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas plans to announce the transformation of the PA into a state during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in September. This move seeks greater international recognition based on pre-1967 borders.
'Israel' has consistently opposed Palestinian efforts for statehood recognition, viewing them as a threat to its existence. 'Israeli' officials have called for sanctions against the PA, accusing it of incitement against 'Israel'. Netanyahu and other 'Israeli' leaders reject the concept of a Palestinian state.
