"Biden's Gaza Plan Gains Palestinian Support, But Sparks Israel-US Discord"

The Palestinian Authority is willing to take back control of the Gaza Strip and hold national elections as part of a long-term peace deal, according to a senior Palestinian official. The authority would accept the Biden administration's proposal for reunification of Gaza and the West Bank under its control if the international community supports Gaza's reconstruction and pushes Israel towards a two-state solution. However, major disagreements remain between the Palestinian Authority and Israel, particularly regarding demilitarization and security needs. The Biden administration's vision for a unified Gaza and West Bank under Palestinian Authority control represents a long shot for peace, but the administration sees no other possible solution.
