The Times of Israel reports: During a closed conversation with Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah said that Israeli policies during the most recent wave of violence helped prevent a third intifada, or uprising, Channel 2 reported Monday.
Hamdallah and Kahlon met last Wednesday to discuss steps that the Israeli cabinet approved last month to improve economic ties with the PA and relieve restrictions on Palestinian movement prior to US President Donald Trump’s visit to the region.
Sources who were updated on the details of the meeting told Channel 2 that Hamdallah emphasized that Israel’s policy of containment during the spate of attacks that began in October 2015 helped prevent further deterioration of the situation, specifically the absence of collective punishment. There was no confirmation of the report from Palestinian officials.
