Ronin Bar, the head of the USGS (Shin Bet) visited Washington and met senior officials in the American Administration; it’s his first visit.

The visit was due to the occupation's fears of an escalation in the occupied West Bank during the coming month of Ramadan. Bar described the situation in the West Bank as boiling and not relaxed since the operation Al-Quds Sword last May 2021, and that flammable materials were everywhere in the West Bank and needed a match to ignite them.
