With violence in the West Bank raging, Palestinians are seemingly losing faith that the current trajectory can be reversed anytime soon, and support for local armed groups is rising.
According to a survey by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research published Tuesday, 72 percent of the Palestinian public said they favored forming armed groups. An example of one such group is the “Lions’ Den” – a Nablus-based group that does not take orders from the Palestinian Authority and is not part of the PA’s security services.
