Davidi Ben-Zion, the Deputy Head of the Samaria Regional Council, has called for the Palestinian Authority to stop funding terrorist activities and to change the educational narrative that promotes violence against Jews. He argues that without new leadership, the situation for both Israelis and Palestinians will not improve. Ben-Zion noted that Jewish settlements in the region are frequently targeted for attacks, which necessitates protective measures such as fences and surveillance systems. He reported a current Jewish population of approximately 700,000 in Judea and Samaria, with expectations of growth to one million within five years due to an annual growth rate of 8%. Additionally, he addressed discrepancies in Palestinian population figures, suggesting that the actual numbers may be lower than reported due to factors like double counting and the presence of many Palestinians living abroad.
