At the same time, the Ramallah-headquartered Palestinian Authority — often presented as a more moderate alternative — is deeply involved in inciting violence, funding terrorism, and promoting antisemitic ideologies similar to those of Hamas. PA-backed terror groups have escalated attacks against Israelis, fueled by a culture of glorifying terrorism and systematic “pay-for-slay” policies rewarding those who murder Jews.
In a online briefing hosted by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) on Tuesday, three panelists offered insights ob the urgent security challenges Israel faces in the aftermath of October 7, explored the implications of Hamas’ continued presence in Gaza, and assessed how the Palestinian Authority’s deep-rooted support for terrorism poses an ongoing threat to Israel’s security and regional stability.
The speakers included: Israel Gantz, Head of the Yesha Council; Professor Kobi Michael, Senior Researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) and Misgav Institute; and Dr. Harel Chorev, Senior Researcher at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies.
