Israel Warns of Full Scale War if Palestinian Authority Launches October 7 Style Attack The recent statement from Defense Minister Israel Katz that a "full scale war" will ensue if the Palestinian Authority launches an attack similar to Hamas's October 7, 2023 assault on Israeli forces and settlements has left many wondering about its true intentions.
Is this merely a veiled attempt to fuel conflict during the Israeli election season, or is there something more at play here?
The occupation of the West Bank by Israel since 1967 has been marked by soaring attacks from both sides, with little or no legal consequence for those involved in settler violence against Palestinians.
