Palestinian official: We expect a military operation by the occupation in the West Bank and we are ready to fight

Riyad al-Maliki, the president's advisor for international relations, said that the Palestinian Authority expects a large-scale Israeli operation in the West Bank. In an interview with the Russian news agency RIA Novosti, Maliki noted that Israeli forces are now advancing into the West Bank, where, in his estimation, they are likely to carry out a large-scale operation, noting that the number of military incursions into cities, villages and refugee camps in the West Bank "is doubling, tripling or even quadrupling every day." "We certainly expect this. We see all the indications that confirm these concerns. But I think we are well prepared for such a situation if it happens. It is clear that our people will resist, will survive, and will try to fight," he said. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territories said earlier that the number of Palestinian homes demolished by Israel in the West Bank has doubled since October 7, 2023.
