WASHINGTON — The Palestinian Authority has presented the Biden administration with a plan for unified governance across the West Bank and Gaza Strip after the war ends, according to a proposal obtained by Al-Monitor.
"The document aims to illustrate the key steps the PA will take to unify governance across the West Bank and Gaza Strip, allowing for the delivery of integrated and responsive basic services," reads the 101-page working document.
The plan, which was delivered to the State Department last month, details the estimated cost and time frame of a range of projects — everything from the removal of rubble to rebuilding communications networks to training schoolteachers on psychosocial support.
