The Palestinian Authority, speaking for the State of Palestine, has just rolled out a major pledge: to wrap up internal reforms and hold presidential and parliamentary elections within one year after the Gaza war ends. Here’s the low-down:
- Humanitarian aid: delivering food, medicine, and essential supplies.
- Hostages & prisoners: setting free those held on both sides.
- Ceasefire & security: guarantees to protect civilians and troops alike.
- Territorial integrity: no annexation, no forced displacement.
- Int’l law & finances: halting unilateral moves, releasing withheld tax revenues.
- Full Israeli withdrawal: paving the way for a two-state solution.
These commitments echo what the State of Palestine promised at the recent New York conference, nailing down a “one system, one law, one legitimate security force” approach under the Palestine Liberation Organization’s political program. The goal? A modern, democratic, non-militarized Palestinian state that respects pluralism and peaceful power transfers ✨.
Earlier on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s green light on this U.S.-backed proposal. Hamas, for its part, said it would review the plan with sincere intent before responding 🤝.
That’s the snapshot! If you’re tuning in from South Asia or Southeast Asia, think of it as a region finally agreeing on a fair data-sharing deal—except this one could reshape the future of millions. Let’s hope the peace code gets debugged for good 🕊️.
