RAMALLAH, Wednesday, September 13, 2023 (WAFA) - The Palestinian Authority (PA) did not receive gears or equipment through the Israeli occupation authorities, today said the spokesman for the Palestinian security services, Talal Dweikat.

He told WAFA that the news about receiving equipment from Israel comes in the context of the incitement campaign against the PA and its security services and coincides with the incitement campaign against President Mahmoud Abbas prior to his speech at the United Nations in New York planned for next week.

It is the right of the PA to get all the gears and equipment it needs to carry out its work in order to maintain the security of its citizens, protect their rights and civil peace, and protect Palestinian society from chaos and lawlessness, said Dweikat, adding that the PA will not compromise its political positions in exchange for obtaining what is rightfully its.

The security spokesman was responding to Israeli reports that Israel has allowed the PA to get weapons and military vehicles to boost its security forces in the West Bank.
