Claiming that the United States and Israel are planning to "redesign" the Middle East via "normalization" and the US peace plan, the Palestinian Authority is threatening "anarchy, violence and instability."
According to a report by Israeli NGO Palestinian Media Watch, an Oct. 13 editorial in the Ramallah-run Al-Hayat Al-Jadida daily, the PA lashed out at the Arab states that have recently signed peace agreements with Israel, stating that "a fire [will burn] generation after generation" unless the PA gets "Palestine."

"Let the American administration and those doing its bidding not be deluded that it is possible to erase the strong Palestinian number from the equation of the conflict, whether by alternatives (!!) [parentheses in source] or by other means," states the editorial.
"This is because the option of 'I'm taking my enemies down with me' remains a Palestinian option regarding which there is no disagreement, if the battle becomes a battle of life or death. The meaning of 'I'm taking my enemies down with me' will only be as follows: Either peace for everyone, or anarchy, violence, and instability."
The PA defines "Palestine" as including all of the State of Israel – regardless of their claims to the international community that they are only interested in the West Bank and Jerusalem, according to Palestinian Media Watch.

The Palestinian Authority, as well as Hamas – the terrorist group that rules the Gaza Strip, has strongly rejected the recent rapprochement between the Arab world and the Jewish state, which has seen the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan recognize Israel and seek full ties with in.
Fatah and Hamas both have decried the move as a "betrayal" of the Palestinian cause.
