Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the seam line in Judea and Samaria, issuing a strong warning to Israel's enemies, including the Palestinian Authority, which he identified as a central danger in a 'turning the guns' scenario. He also addressed a High Court of Justice order from October 12, which demanded the IDF provide a timeline for the return of Arab residents to "refugee camps" in Judea and Samaria that were evacuated during counter-terrorism operations. Netanyahu vowed that Israel is fully prepared for any scenario and will not allow the return of Palestinians to these areas.
Speaking from Tel Nof, Netanyahu stated that he was briefed on the security situation by the Defense Minister and other senior officials. Commanders from the IDF, Shin Bet, and Border Police presented efforts to defend settlements along the seam line and ongoing operations in villages to arrest terrorists, confiscate weapons, and neutralize threats. Netanyahu described the former Tulkarm refugee camp as a "terrorist stronghold" that the IDF cleared under his direction.
Regarding the High Court's demand, Netanyahu firmly declared that the "refugee camps" would remain empty, stating, "I heard there is someone in the High Court who says the residents must be returned here. These are not residents, these are terrorists. The one who will control this area and remain in it is the Israel Defense Forces."
Netanyahu also took a jab at Avigdor Lieberman, head of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, asserting, "There will be no Arab army here west of the Jordan, there will be the Israel Defense Forces here. We must understand, we are minutes from Netanya, minutes from the coastline. The narrow waist of Israel will no longer be narrow. We are guarding from the Jordan to the sea. Our state, our control."
Furthermore, Netanyahu announced that any attack against Israel would be met with a devastating response, including a scenario where the Palestinian Authority turns its guns on Israel. He warned that enemies attempting to test Israel, especially with elections approaching, would face unimaginable power.
