Army warns of West Bank explosion
Israeli reports have confirmed that the lands in the West Bank are nearing a breaking point due to the escalating crimes of settlers and the deteriorating economic situation, amidst the Palestinian Authority's diminishing ability to withstand the pressure. Nonetheless, the Shin Bet insists on maintaining the "lifeline" that ensures the survival of the Palestinian Authority, considering its continued existence essential to Israel's security. The issue of Palestinian banks and their relationship with the Israeli banking system—controlled by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich—has garnered significant attention. Smotrich has used this as leverage to obtain political concessions related to expanding settlements, while the Israeli banking system itself faces legal risks and billion-dollar lawsuits. Amid increasing international pressure to preserve the financial transfer channel between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Smotrich has exploited his position to extract a series of concessions in exchange for ongoing financial transactions. Meanwhile, the economic and political situation remains fragile, with forecasts indicating that the crisis could worsen until the end of 2026.
