US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah, occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.

The US is seeking a Palestinian-led authority to take over Gaza with Arab countries contributing with their forces, including from Jordan and Egypt.

Sullivan said he wants 3,000 to 5,000 people to be re-trained in the occupied West Bank to be sent into Gaza.

He also added that the Palestinian Authority should be revamped with a clear mandate to rule.
