France’s President Emmanuel Macron on Monday calls for “reform” of the Palestinian Authority as part of a plan that would see the West Bank-based body govern a post-war Gaza without Hamas.

“It is essential to set a framework for the day after: disarm and sideline Hamas, define credible governance, and reform the Palestinian Authority,” Macron says on X, following a phone call with his Palestinian counterpart Mahmoud Abbas.
