The United States has developed a plan for the Palestinian Authority on post-conflict governance of Gaza, which potentially does
not coincide with the interests of Israel's interests. But US officials believe that this is the best option for the region at
war.
Officials in US President Joe Biden's administration have spent weeks developing a
a multi-stage plan that takes into account
new aspects of governing the Gaza Strip after the war. The strategy stipulates
that it is the Palestinian authorities who should govern the strip.
This was reported by Politico
and reported by UNN.

The multi-stage
post-war plan of the United States, according to which the renewed Palestinian Authority
will finally take control of the Gaza Strip, according to the publication, is not yet a sufficiently
perfect solution, but American officials consider it the best of
other options for the territory, where the war between Israel and Hamas militants has led to many devastating consequences.
to many devastating consequences, thousands of dead and more than 1.5 million
displaced persons. It is noted that such a plan could put the United States on the
on a collision course with the Israeli government.
According to
Politico, which cites two US officials, one of whom is a
of whom is a White House State Department official, since mid-October
officials have outlined parts of the strategy in numerous position papers and at
interagency meetings among participants familiar with the discussions.
There are proposals that the "renewed"
Palestinian Authority should manage the strip, but how this might work has not yet been publicly
has not yet been publicly disclosed. American strategists talk about the most favorable option that meets the above plans, as the Palestinian Authority, which currently
that currently governs parts of the West Bank has long been accused of corruption and inefficiency.
The overall vision
emerging from internal negotiations is a multi-phased reconstruction of Gaza
Gaza after the heavy fighting between Israeli troops and
Hamas militants. Immediately after that, an international force will be needed to
to stabilize the region, and then it is the renewed Palestinian Authority that will take over
to take over the governance for the long term.
The key
parts of the plan include an increase in security-related assistance, which the Bureau of
for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the US Department of State

Ultimately, we want to have a Palestinian security structure in post-conflict Gaza
As the American publication notes, the above planning is currently being resisted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has effectively ruled out a future role for the Palestinian authorities in Gaza. Israeli officials have been largely unwilling to discuss anything other than the current war, which was triggered by a brutal Hamas attack on October 7 that killed about 1,200 Israelis.
As a reminder, the Israeli Defense Forces
Israeli Defense Forces are actively acting against Hamas strongholds in Jabaliya. Also, the Israeli
military also carried out a targeted attack on the Hamas command center.
