Since Hezbollah broke the ceasefire with Israel by firing rockets and drones in solidarity with Iran, Israeli forces have eliminated several senior leaders and destroyed a central branch of the terror group’s financial arm in Beirut.

The message the Palestinian leadership is sending to its people is: A Palestinian convicted of financial corruption is nowhere near as worthy of public office as one who murders Jews and masterminds terrorist attacks.

Abbas' rhetoric is hardly a reason to bury the government’s plan to apply Israeli law to the Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria and to the Jordan Valley.
