Blinken to visit Israel on Friday, says ‘revitalized’ PA should govern Gaza after war
T. Belman. No, no, never. Israel has every right to exercise sovereignty over the Gaza strip, sans Gazans. This is the price Gaza should pay for the Oct 7 atrocity. Its the right of conquest in a defensive war. We disengaged on condition but now were are taking it back.
We are paying for it in blood. It is immoral for the US to dictate to Israel what should happen with the land.
Stance by secretary of state marks first time idea publicly uttered by Biden administration, which has been floating it privately with regional partners since October 7

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that a “revitalized” Palestinian Authority should retake control of Gaza if Israel succeeds in its goal of toppling Hamas, but that regional partners and international agencies could play an interim role.
The comments by Blinken during testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee marked the first time the Biden administration has publicly declared its desire for the PA to return to the Gaza Strip, after privately raising the idea with regional partners since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.
