‘Some version of PA’ taking control in Gaza only way forward, analyst says
Perry says he believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – looking to elections slated for October 2026 – is likely to eventually move to end a war that has become deeply unpopular.
However, the former chairman of the Foreign Press Association of Israel said, “the only logical way out of this is for some version of the PA to be restored in Gaza”.
“I would expect pressure on Israel to accept that. And I would expect pressure on Hamas to disarm and allow the war to end,” Perry told Al Jazeera, arguing that Arab countries should put pressure on Hamas to do so.
“I think both sides will have a lot to answer for,” he said.
The PA will first have to get out of Israeli control or people in Gaza will not accept the PA. Hamas is ready to cede control, but I doubt they'll accept an Israeli controlled puppet government.
Israel’s Gantz calls for Arab nations to manage Gaza
Chairman of Israel’s National Unity party Benny Gantz says reports of soldiers being tasked with securing food convoys in Gaza are “serious and alarming”.
“I have warned, and I warn again, we are heading toward a situation where our children will be dealing with sewage in Gaza,” Gantz wrote on X.
“It is time to pursue a solution that includes an administration of Arab countries to manage Gaza. Security control must remain in our hands. But our fighters must not risk their lives to take care of Gazans.”
You created the sewage... Let someone else clean up your mess. Your children will be dealing with your actions today for generations to come.
