Last week, a senior Palestinian Authority official told the administration of US President Joe Biden that it is ready to take on a post-war role in managing the Gaza Strip if Washington commits to a “full two-state solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” “, reports The New York Times.

Hussein al-Sheikh, secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the PA’s main organization, told the newspaper that Ramallah was looking for “a serious American initiative to force Israel to submit, to make a commitment. The current US administration is capable of doing this.”

According to him, such a decision should include the withdrawal of Israel from the West Bank and the resolution of the issue of the status of East Jerusalem.

Al-Sheikh argues that such a deal would not have been possible under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or his current government.
