The Palestinian Authority (PA) prioritizes its payments to terrorists, and has therefore lost more than 6.96 billion shekels (over $1.88 billion) in the last 5 years alone, according to its own data.

The official PA news agency, WAFA, criticized Israel for causing the PA’s financial crises largely by deducting money that the PA uses for terror payments. However, a look at the PA’s numbers shows that the PA itself is responsible for its crises.

    The path to zero settlements and zero settlement violence is peace in Gaza. As long as Hamas keeps breaking cease fires, the political factions who are advocating for the end of West Bank Settlements will never gain power and will never be able to implement a pullout.

    Did you comprehend this section? There’s a faction in Israel that is pro 2 state solution. Unless that faction takes power, Israel will never roll back it’s West Bank Settlements. Since that faction is responsible for the pullout in Gaza, the Israeli body-politic is not going to vote them into power until the Gaza Strip is peaceful.

    The settlements represent land-grabbing, and land-grabbing and peace-making don’t go together, it is one or the other.

    The faction that was against that in Israel implemented the Gaza pullout. You’re right it is one of the other. Advocating for Gazan violence is defacto advocating for settlements.

      Sorry, but your understanding of the history of Palestine is revisionist. I already provided sources that debunk what you’re saying. If you don’t want to engage with those sources, then please read up on the subject by Historians that have a much deeper understanding than either of us.
