A new investigation by the Research and Information Department of the Yesha Council has exposed a shocking but entirely predictable reality. In the most recent local elections in the Palestinian Authority, a series of mayors and public officials were elected who are deeply involved in severe incitement and the open glorification of terrorism.
According to the report, in Hebron, city council member Maamar Yosef Al-Awawi has repeatedly published praise for terrorists and incitement against the United States. In Jericho, Mayor Salem Ghrouf participated in rallies supporting security prisoners and promoted content backing terrorists released from Israeli prisons. In Jenin, newly elected mayor Muhammad Jarar is supported by family members who actively commemorate and glorify terrorists who murdered Jews.
Omer Rahamim, CEO of the Yesha Council, stated:
“The investigation exposes an unimaginable reality. The mayors who were elected are running municipalities located ten minutes from Kfar Saba and twenty minutes from Modi’in, while engaging in glorification of terrorism and calls for the destruction of Israel. This is not a distant enemy, but official public representatives who provide backing and encouragement to terrorists just around the corner. The State of Israel must stop turning a blind eye to this system of incitement.”
This is the true face of the Palestinian Authority, an enemy entity every bit as dangerous as Hamas, only better dressed for Western cameras. For over 30 years, successive Israeli governments have treated the PA as a potential “peace partner” that just needs to “reform.” That delusion must finally end.
There is no reforming or deradicalizing this genocidal jihadi population, a group that proudly clings to a fake national identity deliberately created by the KGB in the 1960s and labeled “Palestinian.”
Their internationally funded UNRWA schools teach children to kill Jews and dream of becoming martyrs. Their leaders pay terrorists and name squares after them. And as Yasser Arafat himself admitted in a 1994 speech in Johannesburg, South Africa right after signing the Oslo Accords, the entire “peace process” was nothing more than a modern version of Muhammad’s Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, a temporary truce used to gain strength before destroying the enemy.
The PA is not, and has never been, a partner for peace. It is a partner for war, waged through terror, incitement, and diplomatic deception.
The era of “land for peace” is over. The new era, the era of taking back our land for real peace and security, has begun.
Israel must treat the Palestinian Authority exactly as what it is: a hostile enemy entity, just like Hamas. No more illusions. No more golden handcuffs. No more sacrificing Jewish lives on the altar of a fake peace process.
The Jewish people have returned to our ancestral homeland to live in strength, sovereignty, truth and to spread holiness by getting rid of this jihadist evil in God’s holy land. It’s time our policies finally reflected that reality.
Am Yisrael Chai!!! Victory and clarity are coming.
