He also says that the US and its partners “are prepared to work on a major reconstruction initiative, with appropriate measures in place to ensure that this is for the benefit of the civilian population in Gaza, not Hamas and other terrorist organizations.”

Kerry emphasizes that the US will “coordinate closely” with the Palestinian Authority in its recovery efforts.
