Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated on Monday his rejection of a role for the Palestinian Authority in post-war Gaza governance, at the same time reaffirming his support for U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for the coastal enclave.

“Just as I have committed to, on the day after the war in Gaza, there will be neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority. I am committed to U.S. President Trump’s plan for the creation of a different Gaza,” the premier said.

This marks his second dismissal on Monday of unconfirmed reports from Arabic media suggesting that Hamas has agreed to transfer control of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority as part of negotiations for a “permanent ceasefire.”

Trump’s plan for Gaza envisions relocating its two million residents and undertaking a comprehensive clearing and reconstruction process under U.S. oversight.

A spokesman for the mayor told JNS that his Shared Endeavor Fund “helps combat and tackle hate crime in all its forms.”
“Groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world,” the federal government said.
The court ruled that the parents failed to “plausibly allege” that their children lacking access to services at private school infringes on their rights.
Kenneth Marcus, founder and chairman of the Brandeis Center, told JNS that “we understand that those who characterize us that way, rather than as the civil rights organization we are, generally aim to marginalize us or undermine our efforts.”
Michael Specht, Ramapo Town Council supervisor, called the incident “very disturbing.”
