Washington has suggested Gaza be governed by a “revitalised” Palestinian Authority, which is based in the occupied West Bank, AFP reports.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said any eventual arrangement must involve “a political solution for all of Palestine”, not just Gaza.

“[Israel] wants to separate Gaza from the West Bank politically,” Shtayyeh said.

“I don’t think Israel is going to leave Gaza very soon. I think Israel is going to create its own civil administration that functions under the Israeli occupying army. And therefore the issue of the ‘day after’ is not clear yet.”
