The idea, pushed hard by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, was that a supposedly rejuvenated Palestinian Authority would govern Gaza with some sort of Israeli security overlay.

Israel has always opposed the idea, believing correctly that the Palestinian Authority is too closely connected to terrorism and too weak to govern anything.

The Biden-Blinken idea of such a government for Gaza’s future was blown out of the water by the July 23 agreement between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas known as the Beijing Declaration, signed by both parties in the presence of their smiling hosts.
