What did the President of the Palestinian Autonomy say?
“The most urgent task is to stop the devastating war in the Gaza Strip. It must end, hundreds of people die every day,” said Abbas. Asking to Hamas, he appealed that the Islamist movement “would free the hostages and end it all.” The Palestinian leader emphasized that this would pretense to Israel from his hand an excuse to continue the fighting. Abbas also said that Hamas must “transfer Palestinian autonomy his weapon and responsibility for the Gaza Strip and (must) transform into a political party.”
Gaza Zone and Palestinian Autonomy
Hamas, recognized by the West as a terrorist organization, has been governing the Gaza Strip since 2007 and remains in conflict with the Fatah party, which is the main force of the Palestine liberation organization (APP). The organization is recognized in the world as a representative of the Palestinian nation. The Palestinian autonomy is, in turn, the IP -dependent administrative structure, co -managing the Western shore of Jordan, occupied by Israel. Theoretically, the Gaza Zone also belongs to the autonomy, but Abbas and the Ramallah government do not affect Hamas.
89-year-old Abbas spoke on Wednesday during the meeting of the General Council of IMP. On the part of Western countries, but also the Persian Gulf countries, the pressure is increased, so that the successor of Abbas is appointed and the universally considered ineffective autonomy is reformed – the Reutera agency pointed out.
What next with the war in the Gaza Strip?
Israel resumed the fighting in March after almost two months of suspension of weapons, justifying Hamas' opposition to the extension of the truce and the release of the hostages still being detained. The Palestinian group declares that he is ready for an agreement, but emphasizes that it must guarantee the end of the war, as the original contract provided. Some Hamas leaders also said that the group is willing to give power in the Gaza Strip, as Israel also demands. The organization's leaders have so far opposed disarmament, which is another condition for Israel.
How does the future of the Gaza zone see Israel?
The government in Jerusalem does not want the Gaza Zone after the war to be managed by Hamas or Palestinian autonomy, but did not present a specific plan for the future of this territory. Israeli representatives expressed support for the vision of US President Donald Trump, who announced the displacement of Palestinians and taking control of the Gaza Strip. However, Trump has repeatedly modified his statements regarding gauze and they do not constitute a specific plan.
What is the proposal of Arab countries?
Arab states under the direction of Egypt presented their own perspective of the future of the Gaza Strip. The plan assumes the reconstruction of war -ruined territory without resettling its inhabitants. The Gaza Zone would first be managed by independent experts, and ultimately returned to the power of the Palestinian Authority.
