These Generals Fought for Israel. Now They See ‘Jewish Terrorism’ as the Threat.

The New York Times reported that several retired Israeli generals have shifted their focus to what they now see as a significant threat: 'Jewish terrorism.' This shift comes as tensions escalate in the West Bank. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have expressed concern over the potential for a major Palestinian terror outbreak. According to Haaretz, the IDF's West Bank chief has warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that settler attacks could provoke such an outbreak.

The Times of Israel and Haaretz both noted that the IDF anticipates Palestinians may soon retaliate against attacking settlers. The Middle East Eye reported that the Israeli army is concerned about Netanyahu escalating tensions in the West Bank ahead of elections. Meanwhile, Word on the Street published an account of what it called ethnic cleansing in the Jordan Valley.

The current state of affairs is tense, with warnings from both military officials and retired generals about the potential for increased violence.
