IDF: Situation in PA is "Fragile"
(Ha'aretz) Gideon Alon - IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Tuesday that the situation in the PA was "fragile." The PA is making numerous efforts to take control and impose order, but it is facing anarchy and threatening terrorist organizations, Ya'alon said. Israel has made clear to Abbas that it expects him to disarm Hamas and Islamic Jihad and completely prevent terror organizations from operating. The head of Military Intelligence's research branch, Brigadier General Yossi Kuperwasser, told the Knesset committee Monday that "there is quite a lot of organizing going on in the territories to prepare attacks, including big attacks." He added that the terror organizations are continuing to build their organizational infrastructure, though most of the Palestinian public wants calm.
