Officials: PA will not encourage violence ahead of September
None
Within the framework of preparation for September's UN vote and the declaration of a Palestinian state, political officials have said that defense establishment representatives told the cabinet that in their estimation the Palestinian Authority is not interested in violence and riots ahead of September's declaration.
Those same officials added that the Palestinians are sending messages of calm, claiming they are not interested in deterioration in the situation. Nonetheless, the defense establishment believes that in spite of these messages it is impossible to foresee developments and there are concerns of loss of control, riots and violent protests.
