PA unfit to govern Gaza post-Hamas, White House says National Security Council spokesman John Kirby tells ABC only 'reformed and revitalized Palestinian Authority' could competently carry out the task
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby tells ABC only 'reformed and revitalized Palestinian Authority' could competently carry out the task
The Palestinian Authority in its current state is not capable of governing the Gaza Strip after Hamas is defeated, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Sunday.
Speaking to ABC's "This Week," Kirby said only a "reformed and revitalized Palestinian Authority" could competently carry out the task.
The remarks follow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's assertion that the Palestinian governing body, which holds partial control over the West Bank, is incapable of governing Gaza, as he claims that like Hamas, it also denies Israel's existence.
The Palestinian Authority “pays murderers…. They educate their children to hate Israel and, to my sorrow, to murder Jews, and ultimately for the disappearance of the State of Israel,” he responded to a reporter's question on the matter in a press conference Saturday.
They where unfit beforehand as well. Hamas is ruling the Gaza strip for years now. Thats one of the main reasons we see this human disaster now. The PA allowed Hamas to set up the Palestinian people as human shields for the rocket launchers and command bases.
The PA allowed jack shit. They got their asses handed to them and were kicked out of Gaza by Hamas in 2007. Palestinians think they are Israel's bitches and that's because they are. Israel has subcontracted a lot of the occupation in the West Bank to the PA so that a few sell outs like Mahmoud Abbas can pretend they are important political leaders of the Bantustans.
