Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has firmly rejected any involvement of the Palestinian Authority in the administration of Gaza. This statement comes after a new logo for the technocratic committee overseeing Gaza was published, featuring the official symbol of the Palestinian Authority. Netanyahu's office clarified that the logo presented to Israel was different and reiterated that Israel will not accept the use of the Palestinian Authority's symbol or its participation in Gaza's governance.

The controversy arises as reports indicate that most members of the committee, led by Dr. Ali Shaath, have ties to the Fatah party and the Palestinian Authority, with several having previously held governmental roles within the Palestinian Authority. The Israeli government maintains its position that neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority will be involved in the future administration of Gaza.
