Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Monday called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to close the Palestinian Civil Affairs Authority (CADA) in response to the Jerusalem attack. Smotrich stated that CADA should not exist in its current form and urged immediate action following the incident. Prime Minister Netanyahu has yet to comment on the call. The attack on Monday in Jerusalem has escalated regional tensions.
«The Palestinian Authority must be shut down immediately,» Smotrich stated. He added that it is an organization that supports terrorism. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering the proposal, and a decision is expected soon. The international community has called for calm.
Experts believe that closing CADA could lead to new conflicts. Some political figures support Smotrich's idea, while others argue it may worsen the situation. The Jerusalem attack prompted the call. Israeli authorities are increasing security in the city.
