Peace Talks Boost Security
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - The renewal of negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian officials creates a sense in the Palestinian street that there is a diplomatic horizon. A senior IDF official said the PA is still fulfilling an important role in calming the street. Progress in the peace negotiations will encourage PA officials to stop calling for a "popular uprising," at least initially. However, every round of talks between Israel and the Palestinians has led to a wave of attempts by Islamist and jihadist elements to undermine the negotiations by firing rockets and carrying out terror attacks. If progress is made, we must prepare for numerous, sophisticated attempts by terrorists in Gaza and the West Bank to bring about the collapse of the negotiations.
