White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby is asked during a press briefing to explain what US President Joe Biden meant when he said Washington supports a “revitalized” Palestinian Authority returning to govern Gaza.
“What it looks like is going to depend on the Palestinian people. but what he’s referring to there is a Palestinian Authority that has the credibility, has the legitimacy, has the authority, has the support of all Palestinians, so that they can effectively help with post conflict governance particularly in Gaza,” Kirby responds.
