The Jerusalem Post reports: “The issue of applying sovereignty to the West Bank has been removed from the agenda of the discussion to be convened on Thursday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following the United Arab Emirates calling the move a ‘red line,’ Israeli sources told The Jerusalem Post. 

The Thursday discussion will focus on the security situation in the West Bank, in light of the upcoming UN General Assembly, where several countries will recognize Palestinian statehood. 

Israel’s defense establishment will warn ministers during the meeting that ‘the West Bank could erupt instantly,’ sources told the Post. 

The IDF and defense establishment are attributing its warning to the dire economic situation in the West Bank, which is at a low point, as well as the political uncertainty surrounding the region…”
