  "account": "A recent poll commissioned by the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs and Security reveals that a vast majority of Israelis fear a terrorist attack reminiscent of October 7 could originate from the West Bank. The study shows that 77% of Israelis, including 86% of Jewish Israelis, are apprehensive about Palestinian Authority security forces launching a large-scale assault similar to Hamas's actions on October 7, 2023. Additionally, 75% of Jewish Israelis, along with 67% of all Israelis, oppose the creation of a Palestinian state along the pre-1967 border. Defense Minister Israel Katz, in response to the poll findings, announced that if Israel identifies plans for an October 7-style attack, the IDF will target senior Palestinian Authority officials in a full-scale war on terrorism in the West Bank.",
  "summary": "The release of the findings follows the “turning the guns” warning issued by the JCFA on July 15, when a study noted the buildup of the PA's military capabilities.",
