A report in the Wall Street Journal suggests that a number of officials, including in Israel, are pushing for Mohammad Dahlan, a former leader of Fatah, to oversee Gaza in a postwar era.
The news outlet suggests that “some US, Israeli and Arab officials” are putting Dahlan forward as a “temporary solution to a dilemma facing postwar Gaza.”
The news outlet cites Israeli political analysts saying that he is a figure Jerusalem could work with, and quotes “Arab and Hamas officials” saying that Dahlan has been holding conversations with Hamas and Fatah over potentially overseeing aid distribution in a future Palestinian-run Gaza.
In February, Dahlan — who served as Gaza security chief in a former Fatah government and now lives in Dubai — told the New York Times that an independent Palestinian leader backed by Arab peacekeepers could oversee the reconstruction of Gaza.
