Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the importance of a plan for the post-war reconstruction and governance of Gaza in a speech to the Atlantic Council. The proposal, in development for a year, aims to ensure strategic gains endure beyond the current administration.
The plan envisions an interim governing authority to manage critical services in Gaza, with international partners providing security forces. This initiative hinges on a pathway to an independent Palestinian state encompassing Gaza and the West Bank, a point of contention with Israel.
