Defense Minister Katz's Office Statement on Judea and Samaria Left Reality Out | Avi Ashkenazi

Commentator Avi Ashkenazi argues that Defense Minister Israel Katz's office statement on Judea and Samaria ignored Jewish terrorism. Meanwhile, he analyzes the American economic pressure on Iran, and estimates that Tehran may try to drag the region into escalation in the coming weeks, around the US midterm elections. Ashkenazi notes that history teaches that the weapon of sanctions does not always lead to the desired outcome, and that the Iranians are sophisticated and know how to bypass the American stranglehold. He adds that the American move creates a front against China, and that economic war is protracted. Ashkenazi quotes Katz's statement, which included praise for the IDF and Shin Bet for the decrease in the number of Palestinian terrorist attacks in Judea and Samaria, but argues that ignoring Jewish terrorism leaves reality out.
