The Almagor organization for victims of terrorism has demanded that the government prepare for a massive weapons-gathering operation in Judea and Samaria. The IDF should be ready to collect all weapons from Arabs living in the area if Hamas begins to gain power, they said.

The group’s demand came in response to earlier announcements that large quantities of weapons given to Fatah by the United States, Israel, and Egypt had been confiscated by Hamas in Gaza. Almagor asked the government to establish a committee to investigate the transfer of weapons to Fatah. “We warned the government, also recently, in an expert opinion given to the Supreme Court, that these weapons would reach Hamas and be turned against Israelis,” the group said.
