 France, Egypt, Jordan say Gaza must be governed only by Palestinian Authority

The leaders of France, Egypt and Jordan on Monday said the Palestinian Authority alone must be in charge of the post-war governance of the Gaza Strip.


“Governance, law and order, and security in Gaza, as well as in all Palestinian territories, must be the sole responsibility of a strengthened Palestinian Authority,” the leaders said in a joint statement, also calling for an “immediate return” to the ceasefire in Gaza.


The French presidency said President Emmanuel Macron, US President Donald Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Jordan’s King Abdullah held a call on Monday to discuss the situation in Gaza.


Macron is expected on Tuesday to visit warehouses for aid to Gaza and a hospital where wounded Palestinians from Gaza are treated on the third day of his visit to Egypt.
