Members of the Fatah movement gathered in Ramallah yesterday for an emergency meeting against the backdrop of security escalation and condemned Israel's actions.
What Israel is doing shows that the plan for confidence-building measures has failed. "
The announcement also called for the implementation of the decisions of the "Central Council", one of the important institutions of the PLO. It refers to two decisions made in February. One is to stop security coordination with Israel. Within the borders of 1967, East Jerusalem is its capital. "

The implementation of the decisions is at the discretion of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Also in 2018, the council made similar decisions. Two years later, Abu Mazen announced the suspension of security coordination, which lasted about six months.
On Sunday, another discussion by members of the Palestinian leadership led by Abu Mazen is expected.
It is estimated that security coordination will also be discussed at this meeting.
Nabil Abu Radina, a spokesman for Abbas, said in a statement that "the decisions of the PLO Central Council will be put on the leadership table.
"Israel is pushing to a dead end and playing with fire."
It seems that against the background of security tensions, in Ramallah they want to signal to Israel that there is a window of time to calm the winds.
In Ramallah it is said that if it had been up to the PA chairman alone, he would have preferred to keep the status quo, but in the face of pressure from the public, factions and the Fatah movement, he is between a rock and a hard place.
