The Palestinian Authority (PA) has pledged sweeping reforms and elections within a year of the Gaza war ending, aiming to build a “modern, democratic state” committed to peace. The announcement, made via the WAFA news agency, comes as U.S.-backed proposals to end hostilities gain momentum. 🕊️
What’s in the Plan?
The PA’s proposed “comprehensive agreement” includes:
💉 Immediate humanitarian aid for Gaza
🔓 Hostage and prisoner exchanges
🛡️ Protections against displacement and annexation
💸 Release of frozen Palestinian tax revenues by Israel
If implemented, the deal would also require a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, paving the way for a two-state solution. The PA emphasized its commitment to “one system, one law, and one legitimate security force” post-reforms.
Elections on the Horizon? 🗳️
Presidential and parliamentary elections are slated within 12 months of a ceasefire, with all candidates required to align with the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) peace-focused agenda. The PA vows to ensure “pluralism and peaceful power transfers,” echoing demands from protesters across the West Bank earlier this year.
Global Reactions
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed Monday that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu accepted a Washington-backed proposal. Hamas, meanwhile, says it’s reviewing the plan “with sincere intent.” Regional analysts warn that PA reforms—long demanded by the U.S. and EU—could face hurdles without unified Palestinian support.
