The Palestinian Authority has strongly condemned recent remarks by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who called for the arrest of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and the assassination of senior officials if the United Nations recognizes Palestinian statehood. The Palestinian Authority accused Ben-Gvir of incitement, claiming his statements encourage violence against its leadership and Palestinian civilians. In response, the Palestinian Authority called on the United States and the international community to pressure Israel to halt what it described as a dangerous campaign of incitement, warning that such rhetoric could escalate tensions and undermine peace efforts. Ben-Gvir made his comments during a faction meeting, arguing that moves toward Palestinian statehood support terrorism and threaten Israel's existence.
