An Israeli army general says that a “strong and functioning” Palestinian Authority was in Israel’s security interest, the New York Times reported.
The comments were made by Yehuda Fuks, the outgoing chief of Israel’s Central Command, which is responsible for the military forces in the occupied West Bank, at a departure ceremony, the Times said.
He also rebuked moves by Israel’s far-right government to seize more Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank amid a rise in settler violence. Attacks against Palestinians and their property by illegal Jewish settlers have increased in scale and intensity since October 7.
