Video IDSF: Lt. Col. Maurice Hirsch - The PA was limited to 12,000 police with 8,000 weapons according to the Oslo Accords, now it fields 70,000 armed men in military uniforms, including 8000 convicted terrorists.

For 30 years, Israel held a veto over every member of the Palestinian Authority security forces. It never used it — not once. The result: a 70,000-man army training with RPGs, drones, and urban warfare tactics, positioned just 22 kilometers from Israel's largest cities.

In this urgent strategic briefing, Lt. Col. Maurice Hirsch exposes how the Palestinian Authority systematically violated the Oslo Accords to build a military force 6x larger than agreed — and why it's positioned to replicate the October 7th massacre on a catastrophic scale.Hirsch's article, published by the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, reveals:

🔴 The PA was limited to 12,000 police with 8,000 weapons — now fields 70,000 armed men in military uniforms
🔴 Israel holds a veto over every member but has NEVER exercised it in 30 years
🔴 PA forces train at a public military academy in Jericho — urban warfare, helicopter assault, artillery
🔴 Members are sent to Pakistan for advanced training: RPGs, drones, offensive operations
🔴 Convicted terrorists are actively recruited into the "security forces"
🔴 8,000 convicted terrorists in PA ranks vs. ~3,000 trained Hamas attackers on October 7th
🔴 70-80% of Israel's civilian population lives within the 22km threat radius
🔴 The PA views October 7th as a political "success" — and has every incentive to repeat it.
