The Palestinian Authority (PA) is cracking down on terror groups in the West Bank city of Tubas in an effort to quash lawlessness and deny Israel pretexts to raid the city. PA President Mahmoud Abbas has deployed forces to Tubas to show that the PA can help shape the future for Palestinians after the war in Gaza. However, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) accuse the PA of serving Israel's agenda and undermining their fight against Israel. The PA's campaign in Tubas highlights its precarious position and the challenges it faces in establishing a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
