Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz threatened senior Palestinian officials with an "all-out war" in the occupied West Bank, Middle East Eye reported. Katz said planning is in place for possible military operations against the Palestinian Authority, signalling a significant hardening of Israel's stance toward Palestinian leadership.
The threat comes amid heightened tensions in the West Bank, where Israeli forces have conducted repeated operations in recent months. Relations between Israeli security officials and the Palestinian Authority have deteriorated over disputes regarding territorial control, settlement expansion, and competing claims to security authority in the territory.
