  "account": "Jerusalem, October 24 - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed the public that the Palestinian Authority would be shocked by a major military operation following an attack on soldiers in the West Bank. The prime minister, who is up for re-election, did not directly address the dismantling of the Palestinian Authority, but he endorsed the use of \"ruse and surprise\" tactics. In a conversation with i24News, Netanyahu declared, \"We turned the Middle East around. I said I would change things and we have.\" He promised a significant military reaction after Palestinian militants killed two Israeli soldiers near Hebron in the occupied West Bank. Netanyahu's far-right ally called for dismantling the Palestinian Authority after the attack, but there was no evidence suggesting that the Palestinian Authority was involved. Netanyahu, a long-standing critic of establishing a Palestinian state, shares this view with his main rival, Gadi Eisenkot, ahead of the upcoming election on Tuesday.",
