Israel Vows War with Palestinian Authority in Case of October 7-Style Attack
- On Monday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the military is preparing for "all-out war" in the West Bank if Palestinian Authority forces launch an attack similar to October 7.
- Following a stabbing attack near Nablus, Katz and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the IDF to prepare for the scenario to prevent an intifada "lasting for years."
- Under the proposed plan, Israel would target Palestinian Authority officials with measures including targeted killings, resident evacuations, and continued military presence in cleared areas, Katz said.
- Katz presented the initiative as a contingency measure, asserting it would activate only if Israel witnesses major security deterioration and obtains intelligence of a large-scale assault.
- While Katz claims West Bank terrorism is at its lowest level in decades, the strategy draws comparisons to previous IDF operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
