RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinians fear that the next Israeli government, most likely led by Benjamin Netanyahu and including extreme-right leaders Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, will inflame the situation on the ground in the Palestinian territories.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said during a cabinet session on Nov. 21 that the next Israeli government is preparing to declare war on the Palestinians, under the leadership of the settlers.
