Netanyahu’s spokesman rejects Palestinian Authority control over Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman, Omer Dostri, dismissed the possibility of the Palestinian Authority (PA) governing Gaza, Haaretz reported.

Responding to reports that Hamas had expressed willingness to hand over control of the enclave to the PA, Dostri stated on X that such a scenario was "not going to happen."

Israel has consistently sought to prevent any form of Palestinian sovereignty, using both military force and political manoeuvring to maintain its control over the occupied territories.
