Is there any way out of this sh-t show. A Palestinian Authority that's accepted by both sides is one necessary component.
On the other hand, Iran has won the battle and may win the war. They've done immeasurable damage to Isreal's ability to forge a coalition with its Sunni neighbors against Shite Iran. Their name is mud now in most places around the globe.
Not good for Jews or Israeli citizens. Hamas? No their ranks haven't yet been materially reduced. Mission not accomplished.
Palestinian Authority Shake-Up
1440 Media
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and his government resigned yesterday amid calls for reform from the US and Middle East nations. The overhaul is part of the conditions the US and countries, including Saudi Arabia, are seeking before the Palestinian Authority, which administers the West Bank, can play a potential role in governing Gaza after the Israel-Hamas war. Israel has said it won't accept a Palestinian Authority rule over Gaza.
The Palestinian Authority (see overview) was originally created as an interim body under a 1993 peace agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. It was granted limited rule over parts of the West Bank and Gaza and considered a path for a potential two-state solution. However, since 2005, the governing body has been under Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, 88, and his Fatah party. Nearly 90% of Palestinians have said they want Abbas to resign, viewing his regime as authoritarian and corrupt.
