The United States is applying considerable pressure on the PA to address terrorism in the Jenin region and reinstate security control in northern Samaria. The PA has devised a security plan to counter terrorism in Jenin, with a primary focus on persuading armed terrorist groups to disarm.
The Jenin refugee camp has become a hotbed for armed terrorist groups, as they relentlessly work to rebuild their terrorist infrastructure, which the IDF had previously dismantled.
This resurgence has raised serious concerns within the security establishment, which now predicts an imminent return of the IDF to counter these threats. The Palestinian Authority’s (PA) lack of determination to combat terrorism adds to the urgency of the situation.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh rejected the political plan offered to him by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas for national reconciliation and emphasized the right of Hamas to continue the armed struggle against Israel. The Islamic Jihad conditions its participation in the reconciliation meeting in Cairo on the condition that the PA releases all political detainees from prison.
Iran launched a campaign of psychological warfare against Israel following the enactment of the first law of the legal reform and does not hide its joy at the internal crisis in Israel. Iran’s new strategy is dangerous and it is waiting for the right moment for it to take advantage of the crisis in Israel to strike at it.
The terrorist organizations are encouraged by the internal dispute in Israel on the issue of judicial reform, they estimate that the IDF is in the process of disintegration and plan to increase the attacks in Judea and Samaria. The IDF must take the initiative and act against the terrorist nests in the refugee camps while giving priority to the demolition of the terrorist infrastructure in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the Tulkarm area.
The planned reconciliation meeting in Cairo faces jeopardy as Palestinian factions threaten to boycott it. The key concerns lie in the ongoing wave of arrests in the Jenin area and the demand for the release of all political detainees by the Palestinian Authority (PA). The IDF refrained from entering the Jenin area to allow the PA to arrest wanted terrorists. To avoid sabotaging the Cairo meeting, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas may halt arrests temporarily.
Tensions in the city of Jenin between the PA and the Islamic Jihad are escalating as the PA’s security forces have begun arresting armed terrorists. The Islamic Jihad is threatening to boycott the reconciliation meeting in Cairo at the end of the month, where PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is expected to present a formula for disbanding the armed groups in Jenin without bloodshed.
The political echelon has ordered the IDF to temporarily halt anti-terrorist activities in the Jenin area to allow the PA to activate its forces and regain security control. This decision confronts the PA chairman with a strategic choice that will impact the restoration of the PA’s international standing and its position as a partner for a political settlement with Israel.
The recent visit of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to Jenin served as a significant spectacle to address domestic concerns and bolster international support. However, there are doubts regarding his commitment to combating the terrorism perpetrated by armed groups.
Iran has shown no intention of relinquishing its outposts in the Jenin area, challenging the authority of the Palestinian Authority (PA). As a result, Israel will likely continue its military operations in the region to counter the threat of terrorism.
The recent security events in the Jenin refugee camp have exposed the weakening grip of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who has lost control over security in northern Samaria, causing a significant erosion of his position among the Palestinian population. In an attempt to restore his standing among Palestinians and regain international legitimacy, the PA chairman has initiated a national reconciliation meeting in Cairo at the end of this month.
