UAE, US Discuss Postwar Gaza Administration

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is engaged in discussions with Israel and the United States about potentially overseeing a provisional administration in Gaza following the war, until a reformed Palestinian Authority (PA) can govern. This would involve governance, security, and reconstruction efforts, as Israel remains hesitant to outline its own vision for Gaza post-conflict. However, the UAE has stated it will not participate unless significant reforms of the PA are implemented and a credible roadmap for a Palestinian state is established. Diplomatic sources indicate that while talks have occurred, no formal plan has emerged. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has expressed support for the UAE's involvement, but the UAE insists on preconditions that have not yet been met. The UAE's unique diplomatic ties with Israel provide it with leverage in these negotiations.
