A translation of Al-Quds.com - The Hebrew newspaper "Haaretz" revealed, on Friday, details of the American-Egyptian efforts, which are being made in coordination with other Arab countries, including Jordan, to contain the recently deteriorating escalation in the West Bank .

According to the newspaper, the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah linked any talk of calm and a return to security coordination with several measures that the Israeli government must take, including stopping the demolition of homes, stopping the attacks and attacks it is waging against prisoners inside prisons, and stopping daily arrests in the West Bank.

It quoted a senior Palestinian official as saying that the Palestinian Authority and its security services can only move on this basis, until it succeeds in working, and not turn it into an executive contractor with Israel.

He pointed out that strengthening the Palestinian security forces and improving their capabilities requires allocating resources and budgets and not deducting tax money as the Israeli government does.

He said, "Israel is behaving contrary to all logic. On the one hand, Netanyahu declares that he is not interested in escalation, but in practice he lets the settlers do whatever they want, and Ben Gvir sends bulldozers to demolish Jerusalem and suffocate the prisoners more and more ... and the Palestinians must surrender, sit quietly, coordinate security and organize cities so that there is general Peace in Israel, but what about us?!

The Hebrew newspaper quoted high-ranking Palestinian and Egyptian sources as saying that the Egyptian intelligence, led by Major General Abbas Kamel, and a team of mediators, on his part, are working with the faction leaders to prevent further escalation.

According to the same sources, Egypt has conveyed a message to Israel that the behavior of the current government is detrimental to Cairo's efforts to achieve calm, and that the provocative measures of government ministers in Tel Aviv, including against Palestinian prisoners, are detrimental to mediation efforts.

Abbas Kamel met this week with President Mahmoud Abbas, and in Cairo he will meet the leaders of Jihad and Hamas, including Ziyad al-Nakhala and Ismail Haniyeh.

According to sources in Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Cairo has received clear messages from both Ramallah and Gaza, stating that they are also interested in calm, but this requires Israel to take steps, including stopping pressure on Palestinian prisoners in prisons, and stopping demolishing homes, especially in eastern Gaza Strip. Jerusalem, and stop the daily raids and arrests inside Palestinian cities.

A senior Hamas official told the Hebrew newspaper, "No one wants a new confrontation... This is the prevailing atmosphere so far between the factions in Gaza, and the recent rocket fire was a calculated response, and the Israeli response was according to that, but the steps that Israel will take will be the ones that will rule." On what will happen on the ground, any decision or step taken by the Netanyahu government and his ministers will have consequences.

Sources from Cairo told the newspaper that the firing of rockets from Gaza, even if it was limited, is a message to Israel that things could get out of control and drag the organizations into a new round of fighting.

An Egyptian source warned, saying: "Who guarantees that the situation will continue in this way if the shooting range is expanded? .. In Egypt, we are preparing for the coming weeks, with a focus on the last week of March with the beginning of the month of Ramadan, which may be an explosive factor, but we want that It passes quietly."
