Prime Minister Netanyahu intends to distance Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir from any involvement in the issue of possible concessions for the Palestinians as part of the cabinet's decision to prevent the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, according to Army Radio.
According to the report, after Ben-Gvir voted against the proposal in yesterday's cabinet discussion, a limited team of ministers is expected to be formed to continue dealing with concessions to the Palestinian Authority - of which Ben-Gvir will not be a part.
Last night the cabinet approved a proposal that does not include practical steps, but it was stipulated that the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister will bring their proposals for discussion before the Cabinet ministers in a follow-up discussion.
The proposal states that "In the absence of a change in the national assessment, Israel will act to prevent the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, while demanding that it cease its anti-Israel activity in the international legal-diplomatic arena, the incitement in its media and education system, the payments to the families of terrorists and murderers, and the illegal construction in Area C."
The rest of the Prime Minister's proposals that came up in the cabinet were unanimously accepted. According to the proposals, the security forces will continue to act resolutely to thwart terrorism, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense will bring before the cabinet measures to stabilize the civilian situation in the Palestinian Authority.
In addition, the cabinet unanimously supported the defense minister's statement, according to which, "the calls for refusal to serve severely harm the security of Israel and must be condemned, and that the security services must be left out of the political discourse."
