A translation of "Jerusalem" dot com - Yehuda Fox, commander of the Israeli army in the West Bank , confirmed, on Tuesday, the existence of a rupture in security coordination with the Palestinian Authority , which he said would harm it very seriously.

Fox said in the "Yedioth Ahronoth" conference that there are those who are taking advantage of the current situation in the West Bank, especially the new generation of young people, who are mainly from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, accusing Iran of trying to "sew terrorism in Israel as well and bring down the Palestinian Authority and harm it."

He added, "The damage to the security coordination harms us, but it mainly harms the Palestinians, and therefore the stability of the PA's rule is more of a Palestinian interest than our interest in having security coordination between us and them."

He continued: "The roots of the problems are clear at the present time, and the Palestinian Authority is facing great challenges... every 15 to 20 years we have a new generation of young people, but the current generation is the most educated and unemployed, and the most influential thing is the proliferation of weapons, and this is what made that In some places the authority is losing its rule because of the change of generations that is happening there, which is a serious challenge."

He pointed out that the West Bank has been a challenge for years, and from time to time this arena witnesses periods of ups and downs, and now there is a significant increase in attacks.

Regarding what was reported about US-brokered understandings to limit military activities in the West Bank, Fox said: "We do not enter those areas to roam, and we do not enter places where we have no targets. Our soldiers enter to thwart attacks and protect the citizens of the State of Israel. We have done that and we will do that." And I don't think anyone will limit us in fighting terrorism." According to his description.

Regarding his expectations regarding possible tension in the holy month of Ramadan, he said: "We are in a complex period, and there are motives along the way for the possibility that there will be further escalation, especially in the Temple Mount, and in other places... There may be an important event tomorrow in Jenin and it could It will be in Nablus.. Our role is always represented in desiring peace and preparing for war.. I am responsible for the side of preparing for war, and we do that with all our forces.”
