Allowing PLO to build in Judea/Samaria is very bad
Nadav Shragai points to an elephant in the room that the Israeli government's not taking sufficient action upon, even as they approved the ties with the UAE:
While the normalization deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates is real cause for joy, and the historic missed opportunity to apply sovereignty in Judea and Samaria is a serious disappointment, what is taking place on the ground on Netanyahu's watch when it comes to promoting and preserving the settlements, is mostly a source of deep sadness. In truth, it's nothing less than a scandal.Read more of this. It's clear this cannot be ignored.
In the past few years, the Palestinians have been spreading out in Area C, which is officially under Israeli defense and security as well as civil control. They are on the offensive and are working in an orderly and consistent, not to mention well-funded, manner. Hundreds of thousands of dunams of state land or land that is currently in the process of being registered have been grabbed and turned into farmland. The Palestinians are also building tens of thousands of homes at the most strategic points, which will ultimately decide the battle for Area C. In the past decade, the number of illegally-built Palestinian structures has risen from about 30,000 to 50,000.
