US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan affirmed on Sunday that the United States will not accept the Israeli reoccupation of Gaza and will continue opposing the forcible displacement of Palestinians from the territory. Hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at the Israeli military assuming control of the Palestinian territory after the war, Sullivan stated \u201cNo reoccupation of Gaza, no forcible displacement of the Palestinian people.\u201d Explaining the US position, he said, \u201cGaza can never be used as a base for terrorism in the future, and Gaza\u2019s territory should not be reduced.\u201d Mr Sullivan also outlined a forward path, asserting, \u201cUltimately, we do want to see the reconnection, the reunification of control between the West Bank and Gaza under Palestinian leadership.\u201d Meanwhile, the Palestinian organisation overseeing the West Bank has informed the Biden administration it could consider running Gaza after the war \u2014 if Washington commits to a two-state solution. In an interview with American media, Hussein al-Sheikh, the secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), emphasised that only a \u201cfull-fledged two-state solution (can) end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.\u201d The Palestinian Authority, he said, was seeking \u201ca serious American initiative that would force Israel to abide by it, to commit to it.\u201d The Biden administration, he said, was capable of doing that as it could also persuade Israel to accept the solution. The Palestinian official, however, said that such a solution \u201cmust include an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and a resolution of the status of East Jerusalem.\u201d Mr Netanyahu, however, told reporters on Saturday that Israel would not accept Palestinian authority in Gaza and will retain \u201coverall security control,\u201d including the capacity to go in whenever we want to eliminate \u201cterrorists\u201d. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
