Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan asserts that the Palestinian Authority is capable of returning to govern Gaza after the war but that discussions on this effort cannot begin until there is a ceasefire.
Prince Faisal says during a press conference in Oslo that the PA has done a very good job in the West Bank despite difficult conditions and Israeli attempts to collapse it.
Perhaps the problem lies elsewhere when talking about the need to revive the PA, the Saudi foreign minister says. “It is capable of shouldering the responsibilities if a Palestinian state is established.”
