Smotrich urges action against Abu Mazen amid Erdogan visit
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich intensified his attack on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to prevent Abbas from returning from Turkey to Israel and to work towards dissolving the Palestinian Authority. Meanwhile, Abbas is visiting Ankara to hold discussions with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on the political situation and the future of the Palestinian cause. These statements come amid Israeli efforts to weaken the Palestinian Authority and to rule out the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state. At the same time, the Palestinian leadership is seeking to strengthen coordination with Turkey and other regional countries, amid anticipation about the future of Palestinian institutions ahead of the legislative elections scheduled for November. These developments reflect a deep political rift, with the Israeli far right demanding the dismantling of the Authority, while the Palestinian leadership is pushing to enhance its external diplomatic positions.
