"Israel and US Clash Over Postwar Gaza's Future"

Israel and the United States are at odds over conflicting visions for postwar Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that Israel would retain an open-ended security presence in Gaza and impose a buffer zone, ruling out any role for the Palestinian Authority. In contrast, the United States has called for a return of the Palestinian Authority and the resumption of peace talks for a two-state solution. These differences have set the stage for difficult discussions between the two allies.
