The Palestinian Authority in its current state is not capable of governing the Gaza Strip after Hamas is defeated, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Sunday.
Speaking to ABC’s “This Week,” Kirby said only a “reformed and revitalized Palestinian Authority” could competently carry out the task.
The remarks follow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertion that the Palestinian governing body, which holds partial control over the West Bank, is incapable of governing Gaza, as he claims that like Hamas, it also denies Israel’s existence.
The Palestinian Authority “pays murderers…. They educate their children to hate Israel and, to my sorrow, to murder Jews, and ultimately for the disappearance of the State of Israel,” he responded to a reporter’s question on the matter in a press conference Saturday.
What are Israels options if they get attacked out of these densely populated areas?
Send in soldiers to go kill Hamas guys without leveling an entire apartment building?
Or undermine Hamas politically by not making the PA seem like Israeli cucks.
How can you undermine an authoritarian regime, who doesnt hold votes, politically? That just doesn’t work.
Hamas was originally elected because they ran as the anti corruption party, and because the PA are collaborationists. If you want to get Palestinians to broadly support someone other than Hamas, you have to show that the other guys can get results. Otherwise people continue to join hamas, because that’s their only mechanism of resistance.
