"Hamas and allied Palestinian factions have reiterated that any decision on the future governance of Gaza is an internal Palestinian matter as the ceasefire in the territory takes effect. In a joint statement on Friday, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) joined Hamas in lauding the steadfastness of Palestinians, which they said foiled Israel's plans for mass forced displacement in Gaza."
"and we stress that the nature of the administration of the Gaza Strip and its institutions are an internal Palestinian matter to be determined by the national component of our people directly, the statement said. The groups added that they are working on an urgent comprehensive national meeting to discuss next steps after the ceasefire. This will unify the Palestinian position, formulate a comprehensive national strategy, and rebuild our national institutions on the foundations of partnership, credibility, and transparency, they said."
Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians returned to heavily damaged Gaza City on the first day of the ceasefire. Hamas and allied factions insisted that decisions about Gaza’s future governance must be made internally by Palestinians and rejected any foreign guardianship. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the PFLP praised Palestinian steadfastness and said it prevented mass forced displacement. The groups plan an urgent comprehensive national meeting to unify positions, formulate a national strategy, and rebuild institutions based on partnership, credibility, and transparency. It is unclear whether Fatah will participate. The US 20-point plan proposes an international Board of Peace to oversee an interim technocratic authority.
