I have not read into these actions recently, but I do know that part of the original "Deal of the Century" was to cede Arab Israeli areas to Palestine in exchange for the portions of the West Bank etc. This thoroughly irritated the Arab Israelis who do not want to live under Palestinian government. Seeing as I have family in Israel, I need to take a deeper look at this.
