The US President says that he believes Ramallah's Palestinian Authority must rule the West Bank and Gaza.
Tehran (ISNA) - US President Joe Biden outlined how he views the future governance of the Palestinian territories in the wake of the recent Israeli war on Gaza.
In an Op-ed on The Washington Post on Saturday, Biden expressed his belief that the Palestinian Authority should be the governing body for both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, despite the fact that the last elections were held in 2006, where Hamas won the majority, and since then the occupation entity has prevented any such elections fearing a new win to fore Resistance parties.
President Biden also addressed concerns regarding the ongoing Israeli escalations in the West Bank.
He stated that the US government is prepared to take measures against settler violence targeting Palestinians in the region.
His statement comes as the Israeli attacks on Palestinians with full support of the US have been increasing and since October 7, over 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli occupation forces across the occupied area.
Biden also calling for the involvement of the international community after the war, especially with regard to reconstruction.
However, so far, the aggression has no clear end in sight amid the Israeli ongoing massacres and forced displacements of the entire Palestinian population of 2.2 million.
In addition, the occupation entity has set near-impossible objectives, most of which are eliminating the Resistance group Hamas and its leaders.
Earlier today, deputy speaker of the Knesset and member of the legislature's foreign affairs and security committee, Nissim Vaturi, explicitly called for completely burning down Gaza and underlined that "Israel" must refrain from allowing aid into the Strip until all captives are released.
