PA PM Mustafa: Fatah and Hamas to meet soon in Cairo, PA will run Gaza after war
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa said on Wednesday that the Fatah and Hamas movements will meet soon in Cairo, adding that the Authority will run the Gaza Strip after the war with the participation of "everyone."
Mustafa's statements came in statements to the Qatari channel "Al Jazeera Mubasher".
Mustafa said: "Today we are talking about a close meeting between Fatah and Hamas to reach some understandings that will help in better arranging the situation to serve our people in Gaza in the coming period."
He added that the meeting "will be held in Cairo very soon, God willing, and the meetings (with the rest of the factions) may expand after that," without mentioning a specific date.
The Palestinian factions held their last dialogues in China, which ended with the Beijing Declaration on July 23, in which they agreed to reach a “comprehensive national unity” that includes all forces within the framework of the PLO, and to form an interim national consensus government, without achieving anything that was agreed upon.
On the other hand, Mustafa said that the Palestinian Authority will administer the Gaza Strip the day after the war on the Strip.
He stressed that "Gaza is part of the Palestinian territories," and that the Authority, its institutions and employees are present and continue their work in the sector, especially education and health.
Mustafa continued: "The only legitimacy for rule in Palestine is the legitimacy of the Palestinian state and the PLO, and the Palestinian Authority will manage the sector in a way that includes all the energies of the Palestinian people without excluding anyone. We will bear the responsibility and are ready to do our duty."
He pointed out that there is coordination with all relevant Palestinian parties in this regard. “We need everyone’s efforts. The responsibility is great, the disaster is great, and all the energies of the Palestinian people must be mobilized for the noble goal of restoring life to Gaza, the unity of the Palestinian people, linking the West Bank and Gaza, and establishing the state.”
