Israel's war in Gaza is a disaster but nevertheless poses an opportunity for "the day after" for Palestinians, the caretaker Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority said on Tuesday, APA reports citing CNN.
Mohammad Shtayyeh called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and said the most promising idea for a post-war landscape included “the totality of the Palestinian issue that has to do with the creation and the manifestation of a two-state solution and Palestinian state on the border of 1967 with Jerusalem as its capital."
“We need to go to a situation in which the international community does recognize the state of Palestine,” he told CNN.
"This is a door opening for the Palestinians to come together again so that a person or authority will be in charge of all Palestinian territory: Jerusalem, Gaza, and the West Bank."
Some context: Shtayyeh and his government submitted their resignations last week, amid pressure on the deeply unpopular Palestinian government to reform as the war in Gaza rages. Shtayyeh opened the door to a national unity government including Hamas in his resignation statement, without explicitly naming the militant group that governs Gaza and is gaining popularity in the occupied West Bank, where the Palestinian Authority is based.
