IQNA – No foreign presence on Palestinian lands is acceptable, according to the Palestinian Authority, reacting to suggestion by the Zionist regime about a handover of the Gaza Strip to international forces.

Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesperson for the Palestinian Authority presidency, said on Sunday that “there is no legitimacy for any foreign presence on Palestinian lands, and only the Palestinian people can decide who governs and manages their affairs”.

He stressed that the Israeli regime “is delusional if it thinks it can decide the fate of the Palestinian people and cement the occupation by bringing in foreign forces” as reported by Xinhua news agency.

The spokesperson emphasized that “the Palestine issue is about land and statehood, not just humanitarian aid; it is a sacred issue and the central cause for Arabs”.

On Friday, Israeli public radio Kan reported that Israeli regime defense minister Yoav Gallant discussed the transitional phase plan for Gaza during his visit to the US days ago.

The plan would be overseen by a steering committee led by the US and involving some Arab countries, according to the radio.

The international forces, possibly including soldiers from Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Morocco, would oversee security in Gaza while the American side would handle leadership and logistics from outside the strip, likely in Egypt, it reported.

The plan will be implemented in stages from north to south Gaza and aims for the gradual transfer of local security responsibilities to Palestinian forces, the report said.

The Israeli regime has been conducting a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.

Nearly 38,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in the Israeli attacks.
