In Ramallah, they condemned the activity of IDF forces in the Jenin refugee camp, during which four Palestinian militants were killed. Palestinian
officials attacked Israel and accused that Prime Minister Yair Lapid is talking about a two-state solution, while on the ground Israel is taking actions that distance this vision and contribute to increasing escalation.

"Is this what Lapid meant in his speech? This is what the vision of the two states looks like? Do you think that more force and more military operations will bring you security? No. On the contrary, it will only increase the violence and expand the coffee. You say one thing and do another. Our young people see the killing , your arrests, provocations and invasions, and are not ready to accept this," the deputy governor of Jenin, Kamal Abu Rub, told "Israel" today.
Palestinian officials say that there was an expectation that Israel would take its foot off the pedal a little and give the Palestinian security mechanisms a chance to act.
However, they emphasized that they would not act under Israeli pressure and that Israel must significantly reduce its entries into Palestinian cities.
"We will not betray our people, and we will not tell our young people: Do not fight in Israel. They have the right to defend themselves. The fact that the army threatens to enter at any moment regardless of where it wants, weakens the authority, increases tensions, and conflicts between the street and the leadership.
We can deal with our people, and the Palestinian security mechanisms can maintain order in cases where he thinks it is necessary to do so. But don't think that the mechanisms will operate under your auspices. You need to understand that we do not work for you," Abu Rub noted.
Lapid and Biden.
The two-state idea is getting further and further away,
In recent days, the Palestinian Authority sent messages to the American government and asked to put pressure on Israel and refrain from military activity inside the cities.
According to Ahmed Adich, the political advisor to the Palestinian Foreign Minister, in Ramallah they received positive messages in this regard from the Americans, but in practice they are not translated on the ground, and against this background the crisis in relations between the PA and the US has worsened.
"The crisis in our relationship with the Biden administration started after we saw that America was not keeping its promises and commitments to the Palestinian people. Now there is a worsening of the crisis because we see that the US is not putting real pressure on Israel to stop the escalation and the operations on the ground.
Military measures are not a solution, and we told the Americans this so that they would influence Israel.
We do want to improve relations with America, and they continue through the official channels, but we don't want word games.
Those who believe in the two-state solution should announce the opening of a political process and stop bringing troops into our cities," Adich said.
This coming Friday, the chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, is expected to convene the Palestinian leadership. It is not clear if any decisions will be made at this gathering. What is clear is that the meeting will be held in a heavy atmosphere with growing unrest in the background and calls to suspend relations with Israel.
