Over the last several weeks, police forces from Israel raided multiple targets in the Arabic society for weaponry possession. The hunt proved the rise in crime within the Arabic society, and while obviously many Arabs don't take part in it, it is the authority that doesn't want to take responsibility.
The Palestinian Authority customarily blames Israel for its own shortcomings. While there are almost 70,000 employees in the PA Security Forces, it seems that they don't spend time gathering the numerous illegal weapons held by Palestinians.
Spokesman of PA Security Forces demonizes Israel, claims Israel deliberately spreads weapons among Palestinians to fuel internal disputes and “get rid of confrontations that are part of the popular uprising against this occupation”.
