The recent events in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip reflected the continued weakening of the Palestinian Authority and Abu Mazen’s rule.
The anger against him on the Palestinian street is increasing, the Islamic Jihad has strengthened in the northern West Bank, the succession battle is intensifying and the Hamas organization is increasing its influence in the international and Arab arena
Hamas made a wise decision not to take part in the last round of fighting against Israel and to maintain its achievements in the Gaza Strip
The Islamic Jihad was forced to agree to the Egyptian cease-fire proposal and come down from the tree, now it is trying to present itself as the one who won the short round of fighting in which it suffered a severe blow from Israel.
On the streets of Gaza there is anger at Hamas for not participating in the fighting against Israel, but the Islamic Jihad is demonstrating unity with Hamas so that it can restore its damaged military capabilities
The IDF “breaking Dawn” operation against the Islamic Jihad continues and there are no indications of an imminent ceasefire. Israel has some achievements, but restoring deterrence requires increasing pressure on the Islamic Jihad in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
