Israeli Channel 12 said that discussions between American security officials and Israeli and Palestinian security personnel took place on the final day in an effort to find a solution to restore calm to the northern West Bank.
According to the military analyst Ehud Ya’ari, “the Palestinians demanded the Israeli army to refrain from launching incursions in the West Bank and giving them more time to reach an understanding with the elements of the Black Ain group.
”
The Israeli report claimed that the Palestinian security officials have made clear that in recent days they arrested 11 gunmen, including members of the Palestinian security who were in contact with the “Al -Aswad” group in Nablus.
They contend that if Israeli raids cease, the Palestinian Authority’s offer to the resistance to hand over their weapons in exchange for a few months of monitoring under PA supervision (a form of preventative incarceration) until their status was resolved with the Shin Bet might be feasible.
The names of many people on the wanted list are tied to the Fatah movement, therefore force cannot be used against them; instead, persuasion must be used, the Palestinian security officials explained to the Americans, assuring them that a similar setup worked after the second intifada.
Additionally, the Palestinians urged Israeli Prime Minister Yair Labid and others to refrain from referring to the Palestinian Authority as in danger and suggested that Israel should offer a political vision rather than pursuing coercive measures.
Together is the source.
The specifics of American mediation on Jenin and “Black’s den” are revealed by an Israeli channel.
