During Defense Minister Galant’s recent visit to Washington, discussions were held regarding the potential establishment of a multinational military force comprised of Arab countries. This force would receive support from the US and be responsible for maintaining law and order in Gaza, as well as escorting humanitarian aid convoys. Israel is interested in this initiative to address issues such as the looting of aid convoys, hunger in Gaza, and challenging Hamas rule.
Meanwhile, a report suggests that the Palestinian Authority is planning to replace its current welfare program with a new one that will provide assistance to all Palestinians except for the families of terrorists. A senior Biden administration official has mentioned progress on this change and expressed optimism about it. Another senior administration official has also confirmed upcoming modifications to the system.
In addition to these developments, there are ongoing discussions about creating a governing body in Gaza that is not affiliated with Hamas. The Defense Minister raised this idea during talks with US officials, hoping it would lay the groundwork for a post-war plan in Gaza. However, it seems like some paragraphs regarding technology, online casinos, health insurance, and the stock market have been inserted into the article without any clear connection to the primary discussion regarding changes in Palestinian Authority’s welfare program and plans for a multinational military force in Gaza.
