Family leaders, clan chiefs, and community dignitaries from Gaza issued urgent calls for PA President Mahmoud Abbas and the PA to reassert control over Gaza, marking a significant development in the territory’s internal politics amid the ongoing conflict.
The appeals, made public earlier this week on the PA’s official state-run news agency, Wafa, may represent a potential shift in local support for the governance of the territory. The calls, made on two different occasions, came through a dialogue meeting organized by the General Union of Palestinian Farmers and a formal declaration signed by mukhtars (community leaders) and dignitaries from the Gaza and North Gaza governorates.
During the farmers’ union meeting, the dignitaries of Palestinian families and clans in the enclave were quoted as confirming “their support for the initiative of Mahmoud Abbas to enter the Gaza Strip,” calling on the PA to assume duties there, “to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.”
