Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth quoted senior Israeli military officers as warning that the situation in the West Bank is on the brink of a major explosion.
The officers said the military leadership accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers of fraud and of failing to take necessary decisions to prevent an escalation.
According to the newspaper, the officers believe that ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich are trying to start a war in the West Bank, and they warned that Ben Gvir’s behavior on the Temple Mount is not only inflaming the situation in the West Bank, but in the entire Arab world.
The newspaper reported that a large number of officers were considering resigning over the West Bank policy, and they also expressed fears over what they described as a “massive Palestinian attack on Israeli settlements in the West Bank.”
