Palestinian Authority expresses willingness to cooperate with Trump in Gaza to resolve conflict
Palestinian leaders have officially announced their openness to collaborate with the former US President Donald Trump and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in efforts aimed at ending the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip.
According to Hussein al-Sheikh, Deputy Chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, this cooperation is expected to be a crucial step towards achieving long-awaited peace in the region and rebuilding the damaged infrastructure of the enclave, which has suffered from ongoing conflict.
During a meeting with Blair, he confirmed the Palestinian Authority’s readiness to jointly implement a plan that includes a ceasefire, gradual withdrawal of Hamas militants, and the establishment of a new governance structure under the supervision of international organizations.
This plan envisions the initiation of reconstruction and recovery processes in Gaza, which would pave the way for stabilization and improved living conditions.
Participants also discussed the possibility of Trump’s involvement in shaping a new political management model, particularly considering that the Palestinian Authority has lost control of Gaza since 2007.
Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu expressed skepticism about the prospect of transferring control of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority.
Currently, a ceasefire has come into force in Gaza, and Hamas is expected to begin releasing hostages tomorrow morning, which will facilitate further releases of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
A peace summit, led by Trump and involving Egyptian diplomats, is scheduled to take place in Egypt, marking an important step toward long-term resolution of the conflict.
