Arab officials have cautioned it is unrealistic to expect the PA to easily move into Gaza and replace Hamas \u2014 if Israel succeeds in defeating the Islamist group, which is deeply embedded in Palestinian society. <\/p>\n<p>Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week said Israel would have \u201coverall security responsibility\u201d in Gaza for an indefinite period.<\/p>\n<p>Blinken said that from what he had heard from Israeli leaders, the Jewish state had no intent to reoccupy Gaza, which is home to 2.3mn Palestinians. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only question is, is there some transition period that might be necessary and what might be the mechanisms that you could put in place for that to make sure that there is security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blinken said it was \u201ckey\u201d that there was no postwar reoccupation of Gaza, no forcible displacement of Palestinians, no use of the enclave as a platform for terrorism, no attempt to blockade or besiege Gaza and no reduction in its territory.<\/p>\n<p>Blinken visited Israeli and Palestinian leaders this week, including PA president Mahmoud Abbas. <\/p>\n<p>He pressed Israel to accept humanitarian pauses to allow more aid to be delivered to Gaza and to help create the conditions to secure the release of more than 240 hostages being held by Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Blinken proposed that Israel agree to 12-hour pauses in the fighting in an effort to secure the release of civilian hostages, after Netanyahu\u2019s government rejected a demand by Hamas for a five-day truce to allow fuel and other aid into Gaza, according to a person briefed on the discussions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Under Blinken\u2019s plan, the warring parties would agree to take certain steps towards the hostages\u2019 release and if met, the pause would be extended by another 12 hours, the person said. <\/p>\n<p>Qatar, which is mediating negotiations, hopes to be able to secure the release of 10 to 15 of the civilians held by Hamas if the proposal is accepted, the person said.<\/p>\n<p>The war between Israel and Hamas erupted after the militant group launched a deadly attack on Israeli towns and military checkpoints bordering Gaza on October 7, killing more than 1,400 people, according to Israeli officials, and seizing the hostages, including civilians and soldiers. <\/p>\n<p>Israel has responded with a ferocious bombardment on Gaza that has killed more than 10,500 people, according to Palestinian officials. Its forces are fighting inside Gaza City, the heart of Hamas\u2019s political and military operations. <\/p>\n<p>Washington has also sought to shore up the security of its troops in the region. Lloyd Austin, US defence secretary, announced on Wednesday that two US F-15 fighter jets had conducted \u201ca self-defence strike\u201d on a weapons storage facility in eastern Syria in response to attacks on US personnel in Iraq and Syria. It follows military strikes last month on two facilities in eastern Syria that the US identified as linked to Iran-backed militias.<\/p>\n<p>The US and its Arab allies would have to make considerable effort to revitalise the PA into a body with credibility among the Palestinian public, analysts said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an interesting gambit,\u201d former CIA officer Bruce Riedel said of Blinken\u2019s goals. \u201cBut it doesn\u2019t answer the question, \u2018how do we get a Palestinian Authority that has the strength to govern and the legitimacy to govern?\u2019 That means first and foremost a change in leadership.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Palestinians are particularly frustrated with Abbas, 87, who is in the 18th year of what was meant to be a four-year term. Riedel said that while the US could pressure Abbas to step aside, ultimately a change in leadership must come from the Palestinians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c31751d4-33d5-4380-aade-82105aaf587d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
