Netanyahu: No Palestinian Authority in Gaza

Neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority should be allowed to govern the Gaza Strip after the war. This is according to Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a further toughening of the tone regarding what should happen after the current ceasefire.

Netanyahu says in a press release that it is "USA's President Trump's plan for the creation of another Gaza" that applies.

Trump said last week that the USA will "take over" the Palestinian area, and that the Palestinian population will emigrate to other countries.

But how such a plan would be implemented is, both practically, legally, and economically, highly unclear.

The ceasefire between Israel and the militant Palestinian Hamas will initially last until the beginning of March. What happens then is also uncertain, since the negotiations have barely begun on phase two.

Israel's leadership has long said that archenemy Hamas should not have any role in the future Gaza. They have not been as clear in their attitude towards PA, which has long been responsible for the Palestinian self-government on the West Bank.

Among the Palestinians, Islamist Hamas and secular PA are rivals, but both claim to govern the Gaza Strip.
