Security forces of the Palestinian Authority (PA) clamped down on protesters against US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah and his meeting with PA leader Mahmoud Abbas. Security forces have arrested multiple protesters as they attempted to march towards the PA headquarters.

During Blinken’s latest visit to the Middle East, it became clear that the US was attempting to play different sides to secure their interests amid rising regional tensions. While in Tel Aviv, he called the genocide charges against Israel “meritless” and distracting; when meeting with Abbas, he discussed the PA’s role in the future of Gaza after stating that the US opposes the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank.

Blinken has previously stated that the US envisions PA rule over Gaza, despite the PA being hugely unpopular among Palestinians due to their ineffectiveness in representing Palestinians and effectively being an Israeli proxy. Support for Abbas dropped significantly, with demand for his resignation among Palestinians rising to around 90%, and even higher in the West Bank, as revealed by a recent poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR). The same is true for the trust in the PA as a whole, as demand for its dissolution rose to nearly 60%, the highest percentage ever recorded in PSR polls.
