The Israeli newspaper Maariv revealed an American plan being studied by the US administration to form a "peacekeeping force" in Gaza, following the end of the ongoing war in the Strip with the participation of Arab countries.

The Hebrew newspaper confirmed that Israel is secretly studying a solution to one of the biggest obstacles in the way of the "day after" issue, which is control over the Gaza Strip.

According to the Hebrew newspaper's report, which relied on reports from the American newspaper "Washington Post", the tripartite meeting held last week in Abu Dhabi, hosted by UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed, which was attended by US President Joe Biden's senior Middle East adviser Brett McGurk and State Department adviser Tom Sullivan, and Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, who is close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussed "correcting" the Palestinian Authority in cooperation with Arab and European countries and forming a peacekeeping force in the Strip.

The goal is to give a “stabilization mandate” to the revised authority, which could be headed by Salam Fayyad, who served as Palestinian prime minister from 2007 to 2013.

The UAE estimates that the Palestinian Authority will be asked to receive military and intelligence support from various countries.

According to the report, despite Netanyahu’s strong opposition to the Palestinian Authority, Dermer stressed in the meeting that Israel might quietly agree to this.

The officials said that the Arab countries that have emerged as potential supporters of this plan are Egypt, Morocco, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Other countries that support the American plan include Italy, Brazil, Rwanda, Indonesia and perhaps another “leading country” from Central Asia, and the United States is not absent from the list either.

According to the report, Washington will help with command and control, as well as logistical support, from a base near the Gaza Strip in Egypt.

Diplomats have discussed seeking support for a peacekeeping and stabilization force – which could come from the UN General Assembly rather than the Security Council, for fear of a Russian veto, according to the newspaper.
