Palestinian and Israeli sources report a sharp rise in West Bank violence. Dozens of settler attacks have targeted towns including Masafer Yatta, Jenin, Qusra and Hebron, with Palestinians injured, property damaged and several homes besieged. The violence coincides with increased Israeli military operations and ongoing clashes.
Palestinian sources have told The New Arab that a broad national list could include Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Dahlan’s Reform Current and other groups, aiming to contest November legislative elections. The talks follow Cairo meetings and reflect tensions between Fatah and Gaza authorities over election logistics.
