The European Union pressed on Thursday, November 20 to bolster reform of the Palestinian Authority, as Brussels hosted 60 delegations to discuss reconstruction and governance in Gaza after the US-brokered peace plan. The 27-nation bloc, the biggest financial backer of the Palestinians, is looking to play a more prominent role after being left largely on the sidelines of US President Donald Trump's efforts to end the Israel-Hamas war.
"Our aim is to strengthen governance, build a more resilient economy, stabilize finances, improve services for the population, and create conditions for future effective governance across all territories," said EU commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Suica.
As part of the efforts, a handful of EU countries signed contributions of more than 80 million euros ($92 million), part of broader support by the bloc worth around 1.6 billion euros over three years that has already been announced.
"Our financial support is linked to the Palestinian Authority reform agenda, which of course, they committed to implement," Suica said.
