As you may recall, Abu Mazen met with the defense minister earlier this week Bnei Gantz At his home in Rosh HaAyin. The two discussed the various security and civilian issues at stake.
Following the meeting, the Minister of Defense approved a series of steps: approval of an additional pulse of updating 6,000 residents in the Palestinian population register in Judea and Samaria on humanitarian grounds, as well as approving 3,500 residents on humanitarian grounds staying in the Gaza Strip, advancing tax payments worth NIS 100 million.

In addition, Ganz and Abu Mazen discussed the need to approve additional Palestinian master plans.
Political commentator Barak Ravid said on 103FM that the prime minister Naftali Bennett He was updated on the details of the meeting in advance: “Bennett did not object to this. Foreign Minister Lapid also knew, everyone knew about this thing. I think Bennett is more comfortable presenting that this is a meeting that deals with security and economic matters.”
Ravid later said that, among other things, the meeting dealt with cases of violence by the settlers in Judea and Samaria: “Yes, this is something that falls more into the security category, why? “In fact, Ganz tells Abu Mazen during the meeting that there is a loosening of the activity of the Palestinian security forces against terrorism in the West Bank, and he asks that you act more.”
Dr. Moshe Elad, a lecturer at the Western Galilee Academic College and an expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, claims that the meeting may have serious consequences. “There have already been visits by the head of the Palestinian Authority to the home of prime ministers: Yasser Arafat has visited the homes of Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres in Tel Aviv and the home of Ehud Barak in Kochav Yair.”
Dr. Elad added that “this meeting is special nonetheless because it comes against the background of a clear disagreement within the Israeli government, regarding reaching a political settlement with the PA chairman. Gantz and Abu Mazen emphasized the need to do good with most of the Palestinian population, the silent and quiet majority, in the days when a minority plotting to torpedo any agreement, carrying out terrorist attacks throughout the West Bank. “
He said, “History shows that whenever such statements were made in the past, the need among terrorist organizations to pour cold water on the enthusiasm in the form of demonstrations that led Israel to withdraw from benefits to Palestinians and return to punitive measures and aggravating conditions intensified.”
