In an opinion piece published in the Washington Post, the US president says Gaza and the occupied West Bank “should be reunited under a single governance structure” – a revitalised Palestinian Authority.
“Gaza must never again be used as a platform for terrorism. There must be no forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, no reoccupation, no siege or blockade, and no reduction in territory. And after this war is over, the voices of Palestinian people and their aspirations must be at the center of post-crisis governance in Gaza,” he wrote.
Biden also said the international community must commit resources to rebuild Gaza in the immediate aftermath of the war, “including interim security measures”.
“And it is imperative that no terrorist threats ever again emanate from Gaza or the West Bank.”
Biden also said the United States is prepared to issue visa bans against “extremists” who carry out attacks in the occupied West Bank.
