(Worthy News) – Arab Gulf nations have indicated that a condition for obtaining their financial aid to rebuild the Gaza Strip after the Hamas-Israel war has ended is a change in the leadership of the Palestinian Authority which currently governs only the West Bank, i24 News reports.
Coordinated by the United States, a coalition of international officials are looking ahead to a post-war Gaza and have turned to the Gulf nations to take a lead role.
The Gulf nations’ condition follows widespread speculation that the Palestinian Authority, despite its reputation for extreme corruption, terrorism, and incompetence, could take over Gaza after the war. The President of the PA is Mahmoud Abbas, an octogenarian Holocaust denier who has clung to power since he was elected in 2005 to serve just a four-year term.
A second major condition for aid from the Gulf nations is the delivery by Israel of a political plan for dealing with the Palestinian issue going forward. According to a report by Israel’s Kan media outlet, the Gulf states are requesting “a certain type of road map, a political plan regarding the Palestinian issue.”
The details of both conditions have yet to be filled in and considered, i24News said.
In any event, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already asserted that the PA is not fit to run Gaza after the war. ‘[President Mahmoud Abbas] still refuses to condemn the massacre by Hamas, and his senior ministers celebrate what happened.
His authority pays the murderers, and you know how they educate their children. If there is no change in this matter, what have we done?” Netanyahu stated recently.
