Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa announced progress in talks on Gaza's reconstruction, highlighting ongoing dialogue between the Palestinian Authority, the United States, and other international partners. Despite a ceasefire earlier in 2025, Gaza remains under blockade, with basic supplies tightly controlled. Mustafa emphasized the urgent need for shelter and reunification of Gaza's institutions with the West Bank as part of the broader goal of Palestinian independence. The formation of a technocratic committee marks a step toward restoring Palestinian ownership, though major reconstruction efforts depend on the disarmament of Hamas.
Mustafa also revealed active discussions with American officials and noted that Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan are key stakeholders in the peace process. He stressed the importance of the Oslo agreement and called for Israel to respect its terms, citing financial and administrative challenges caused by withheld funds and border controls. Palestinian officials expressed hope for the reopening of the Rafah crossing and warned of ongoing destruction in the West Bank, underscoring the need for international understanding and support.
