Following a report by "HaKol HaYehudi" alleging that Palestinian Authority (PA) officers underwent tank training in China, Israeli Finance Minister and Religious Zionism party chairman Bezalel Smotrich stated that the incident proves the necessity of dismantling the PA and canceling the Oslo Accords. Smotrich asserted that Judea and Samaria are developing into terror hubs with tens of thousands of armed individuals, posing a greater existential threat than the October 7th attacks.
He further explained that this assessment has led him to block funds to the PA for the past eighteen months, believing the budgets are diverted to terrorism. Smotrich argued that Israel will inevitably need to launch a preemptive military campaign in the region.
The minister added that upcoming elections will be decided on this issue. He warned that a government led by figures such as Izankot, Golan, and Lieberman would result in the establishment of a Palestinian state and the release of billions of shekels he claims to have blocked.
