Hussein al-Sheikh, the intended successor of Abu Mazen, went to talks in Washington with senior administration officials about strengthening the PA and restoring its security control over the northern West Bank.
The Biden administration legitimizes Hussein al-Sheikh as a potential successor to Abu Mazen by inviting him to talks about the fate of The PA and the vision of the two states.

PA Chairman Abu Mazen ordered the heads of his security forces to maintain law and order in the territories of the PA, but Israel doubts his determination to fight terrorism.
The political echelon is opposed to an extensive military operation against terrorism in northern West Bank , but may be drawn to it in the case of Israeli victims of terrorist acts .

In the city of Nablus, a new terrorist group called “Lion’s Den” operates, which carries out attacks against IDF soldiers and settlers.
The city of Nablus is following in the footsteps of the city of Jenin, just as it was in the first intifada, Fatah officials say that the West Bank is in a transition phase towards a new armed intifada.

The PA is under pressure and is adopting the conspiracy theory that Israel is planning to remove PA Chairman Abu Mazen from power as it did to Yasser Arafat.
Senior PA officials claim that the Israeli government is conducting a campaign of incitement against Abu Mazen and might try to assassinate him.
