European official: The collapse of the Palestinian Authority leads to chaos.

A European Union official confirmed that the collapse of the Palestinian Authority leads to chaos, and that support from the European Union comes to prevent its collapse. This was stated during his meeting with a Palestinian media delegation in the Belgian capital, Brussels.

He said that the European Union has supported the Palestinian Authority since its establishment on both political and financial levels, and that yesterday's donors' meeting discussed, in addition to financial support, political support, carrying a clear message prioritizing the two-state solution, and that all attendees at the meeting want a Palestinian state, with a Palestinian government that provides services to citizens in a credible and effective manner.

He added that the European Union is pressuring the Israeli government to release the clearance funds and to implement the agreements between Israeli and Palestinian banks, and is also working towards conducting local elections.

He emphasized the importance of supporting the Palestinian private sector, which has shown effective and tangible resistance under the current circumstances, noting that part of the funds being discussed has been allocated to this sector, praising the role of the new generations in Palestine who have initiatives and aspirations for the future.

He indicated that the reconstruction of Gaza requires a significant commitment from the international community, and according to initial estimates, it needs between 60 to 70 billion dollars from the responsible parties. The principles governing the reconstruction process were discussed, emphasizing that it should be managed by Palestinians and in accordance with international law and respect for the wishes of the Palestinian people.
