West Bank

Jews are not the instigators, motivators, or causes of Palestinian violence; the tragic cycle of violence and terrorism stems entirely from the Palestinians’ own choices.

The de facto annexation of the West Bank is the natural byproduct of a political system where words are cheap and real power operates without transparency.

In a separate incident, the Palestinian Health Ministry claimed that a Palestinian was killed by settler gunfire in the village of al-Mikhmas area near Ramallah.

Additionally, Palestinian media reported that police arrested Sheikh Muhammad Ali al-Abbasi, an imam of al-Aqsa Mosque, on Monday evening. 

A US embassy official condemned the violence, telling Reuters on Thursday: "The US Department of State has no higher priority than the safety and security of US citizens overseas."

Neta, a second-grader at the regional school in Sussiya, and her father, Nachshon, discovered the pan inside a residential building near the town’s main street. 

Hamas described the incident as a “serious crime” and a “black mark” on the PA’s record, saying the establishment “used force against their own people instead of protecting them”.

The IDF's deployment of troops is designed to shift rapidly from routine activities to targeted raids, arrests, and intelligence-led interdictions when incidents occur.

Israeli leaders are choosing to prioritize physical security, even if it means “taking the risk of being a pariah nation,” foreign policy expert Harley Lippman said.

As Ramadan begins, Israel takes a cautious approach, managing security without escalating tensions, hoping for a month of prayer and peace.
