Israel does it for some solid “self-interest”!
Israel is required to provide law and order and some civilian structure over the areas that they hold and control militarily. If Israel did this directly and had Jewish officials and soldiers for all the civilian infrastructure - everyone of those thousands upon thousands of individuals would become targets and a significant number would be killed,
Instead Netanyahu and Israel have agreed with the Palestinian Authority to provide all that and the normal police forces. That gets all the Jews and soldiers out of harm’s way staying safe!
It’s an extremely good deal for Israel!
I would not characterize it as such, as recent events so clearly demonstrate. Instead why not call it what it truly is? It is the best available of many options, *NONE* of which could even remotely be characterized as 'good'...
