The Israeli plot to pit the West Bank resistance against the PA
After failing to destroy resistance factions in the occupied West Bank, The Cradle has learned that Israeli forces plan to target specific individuals to create tensions between the armed groups and the Palestinian Authority (PA).
This effort includes an alleged meeting held in Tel Aviv between Hussein al-Sheikh, head of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO)’s executive committee, and Major General Ghasan Alyan, head of Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).
The Tel Aviv trip by al-Sheikh, the man favored by Israel to lead the PA once President Mahmoud Abbas retires, was organized to discuss methods of “de-escalating tensions and allowing West Bank workers to travel into Israeli territory for work,” according to an anonymous source in his office.
