US and Palestinian Authority Collaborate on Post-War Gaza Governance
US officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Vice President Kamala Harris, are engaging in discussions with the Palestinian Authority and Arab nations about post-war governance plans for Gaza. The US envisions a unified government led by a "revitalized" Palestinian Authority ruling both Gaza and the West Bank. However, there are concerns about the immediate transition period and the reluctance of Arab allies to participate in an international peacekeeping force. The Biden administration is committed to a two-state solution and has emphasized the reconstruction of infrastructure, reinforcing Palestinian Authority security, and revitalizing PA governance as key areas of focus.
