Abbas proposes a 12-point plan for Gaza's governance post-war, advocating for the Palestinian Authority to take control and emphasizing the need for a complete Israeli withdrawal from the territory.

In his recent address at the UN General Assembly, Abbas condemned the United States for its support of Israel during the war and called for an end to arms supplies to Israel. He outlined a vision for post-war Gaza that includes the Palestinian Authority’s governance as part of a future Palestinian state. Abbas’s proposal underscores the urgency for an international peace conference under UN auspices and reiterates his commitment to a two-state solution. The speech also highlighted the significant toll of the conflict, with over 41,000 casualties reported in Gaza, and criticized the US for obstructing ceasefire efforts at the UN Security Council.
