PA prevented West Bank escalation on Oct 7 - US official

A senior American official said Friday morning that Palestinian Authority security forces who are being trained by the United States acted "exceptionally" in preventing violence by Hamas in the West Bank after the October 7 terrorist attack, Israeli media reported.

The official announced some of the existing Palestinian Authority security mechanisms can serve as "a kind of nucleus" for a future force in the months that will follow Israel's military activity in Gaza.
