Iran is taking advantage of the weakening Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank, exploiting the power vacuum and increasing chaos. The PA, led by Mahmoud Abbas, is facing corruption and a lack of control over the Palestinian population. Iran has a history of infiltrating and taking over countries in the region, and it is doing the same in the West Bank, building the power of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The absence of an effective Israeli policy has allowed the situation to deteriorate, with a population incited against Israel and eager to carry out terrorist attacks. The international community, including the United States, should consider conditioning aid to the PA on a change in the education system, which promotes hatred and extremism.
