Israel has decided to strengthen the Palestinian Authority against Hamas, says outgoing Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi.

The government is currently working to come up with specifics on how to achieve that goal, he says, including around the PA’s role in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports this approach, according to the foreign minister.
