Haaretz: A real explosion in the West Bank will constitute Halevy's first challenge

Translation by "Jerusalem" dot com - The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz said, on Monday, that the possibility of the situation slipping into a real explosion in the West Bank may constitute the first challenge to the start of the term of the new Israeli Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi .


According to the newspaper, the explosive situation in the West Bank since last March warns of a major and long-term escalation.


She pointed out that the decision of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to grant the keys to the West Bank and control the Arab sector in Israel to two right-wing leaders, Smotrich and Ben Gvir, will not help Halevy to calm the situation.


According to the newspaper, Israel's security challenges will peak later this decade, which obliges it to build up the military force to deal with them.
