Dalal Salameh, a member of the central committee of the Palestinian party Fatah, which leads the Palestinian Authority (PA), has criticised the US’ proposal for the authority to lead Gaza after the war, Al Jazeera reports.

“All proposals being made in this context are attempts to escape from the primary prerogative, which is ending the aggression,” Salameh told Al Jazeera. “The details discussed about the day after and the shape of the authority in Gaza are a way to escape another prerogative, which is ending the occupation.

“Every day we hear proposals about the day after. But let me tell you, they are all about running away from discussing ending the occupation,” she said.
