UAE tells Israel it will only assist in postwar Gaza peacekeeping efforts if PA reinstated to govern enclave – report
Several Arab states have informed Israel that they are not prepared to play any peacekeeping role in postwar Gaza, Army Radio reports, citing sources familiar with ongoing discussions on the matter.
According to the report, the United Arab Emirates has told Israel that it is prepared to send military forces to assist in peacekeeping efforts in the Gaza Strip once Hamas has been removed from power, but only if the Palestinian Authority is reinstated as the ruling authority in the enclave.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed repeatedly that he will not allow the PA, headed by Mahmoud Abbas, to take over the running of the Strip.
