Senior IDF officers describe the situation in Judea and Samaria as 'explosive and most dangerous', according to a report by journalist Amir Bohbot. The security establishment has decided to reinforce forces to 26 battalions, but assessments indicate that a broad operation will be postponed until after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington, to avoid provoking US President Donald Trump.
The report, published Monday morning by journalist Amir Bohbot, quotes senior IDF officers describing the current situation in Judea and Samaria as 'explosive and most dangerous' amid ongoing attacks and friction. In response, the security establishment has decided to reinforce forces to 26 battalions. However, security assessments indicate that a broad military operation — which some officials have advocated — will be postponed until after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington. The concern is that launching a major operation now could provoke US President Donald Trump, who has been pushing for restraint and a diplomatic framework. The timing of any large-scale operation remains dependent on political considerations, including the outcome of the Washington visit.
