Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj.-Gen. Yoav Mordechai will answer ordinary Palestinians’ questions through his Arabic Facebook page on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., as a part of a larger Israeli effort to engage Palestinians directly.

“I want to be in direct communication with you and answer your questions,” Mordechai said in a video earlier this week, inviting Palestinians to participate in the Q&A session.

COGAT is the branch of the Defense Ministry responsible for coordinating civil and security affairs with the Palestinian Authority.
COGAT established Mordechai’s Arabic Facebook page eight months ago and it has since garnered more than 75,000 followers.
