Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called to dismantle the Palestinian Authority after a shooting in Jerusalem on Monday (September 8). At least six people were killed and several were injured in the shooting attack. Smotrich took to X and said that “the State of Israel cannot accept a Palestinian Authority that raises and educates its children to murder Jews.”
“The Palestinian Authority must disappear from the map, and the villages from which the terrorists came should look like Rafah and Beit Hanoun,” he declares, praising the “bravery of the courageous soldier and Kollel student who engaged and neutralized the terrorists, thereby likely preventing an even larger attack.”
Netanyahu was warned of Jerusalem attack a week ago?
It has been claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned about the attack a week ago. As per the Israeli officials who talked to CNN, Israeli security officials had warned the Israeli PM about the potential for “serious escalation” in the occupied West Bank due to the government’s policies there. This came after Netanyahu’s decision to annex the West Bank to Israel.
The officials said that the security assessment presented to the ministers included a warning about a potential flare-up of violence in the West Bank in the upcoming weeks.
