‘Saudi Arabia’s principled stance is a source of strength for the Palestinian cause,’ Palestinian ambassador to Japan tells Arab News
TOKYO: When US President Donald Trump unveiled the charter of his Board of Peace in the Swiss city of Davos, he launched a new and uncertain experiment in postwar governance for the Gaza Strip.
The board is intended to oversee the war-ravaged Palestinian territory’s transitional administration and reconstruction as a fragile ceasefire moves into its second phase. The announcement has prompted cautious reactions from Palestinian officials, who say any plan imposed without Palestinian leadership risks failure.
Speaking to Arab News, Palestinian Authority Ambassador to Japan Waleed Ali Siam said international initiatives for Gaza and the West Bank must prioritize Palestinian rights, international law and a clear path to an independent Palestinian state.
