Palestine===Palestinian Authority

The Palestine===Palestinian Authority's already limited powers in the Palestine===West Bank are further weakened by Israel's new measures, which expand Israeli supervision and enforcement in areas under PA administration. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned these actions as dangerous and illegal.

The new Israeli measures aim to extend greater Israeli control over areas where the Palestine===Palestinian Authority currently exercises power, and transfer authority over building permits in Hebron from the Palestine===Palestinian Authority to Israel. These steps are seen as further weakening the Palestine===Palestinian Authority's limited control and undermining its role as an interim governing body.

The Palestine===Palestinian Authority called for international intervention to prevent the 'de facto beginning of the annexation process and the undermining of the foundations of the Palestinian state'. This action directly threatens the Palestine===Palestinian Authority's control and aspirations for statehood.

The Palestine===Palestinian Authority strongly rejected Israel's cabinet decision, viewing it as a de-facto annexation and a declaration of annexation plans. They accuse Israel of promoting illegal settlement activity and undermining the prospect of a Palestinian state.

The Palestine===Palestinian Authority is receiving a show of support from European backers for its role in a two-state solution and post-war Gaza governance. This could strengthen its position in future negotiations.
