EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell reflects on the future of Gaza during a conference in Bahrain, saying that “Hamas cannot be in control of Gaza anymore.”

The Palestinian Authority “told me they are ready and willing to take this responsibility” with the help of the international community, says Borrell.

He adds that Arab countries should also play a role in any future configuration, both political and economic, for Gaza.

Israel has rejected the idea that the PA would rule Gaza following the war, pointing to PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s refusal to condemn the October 7 Hamas assault on Israel and the body’s continued payments to imprisoned Palestinian terrorists.
