Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa says in Baghdad that the Palestinian Authority is ready to re-establish “unified” Palestinian leadership after the Gaza war.
“We are ready, as Palestinians, to assume our responsibilities from the day after [the Gaza war ends] in order to help… restore the unity of the Palestinian people and leadership,” Mustafa says during a news conference with Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein.
“We also need to be well prepared for the creation of a [Palestinian] state and the responsibilities that this entails,” he adds.
The Palestinian leadership largely split when Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007, ousting all officials from Fatah, the party that rules in the West Bank. Israel has vowed that Hamas will not be able to play any role in ruling the Strip following the war, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected international calls for a revitalized PA to take control of Gaza.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
