Blinken touted the proposal, which has been in the works for a year, and discussed the importance of ensuring its success after the Biden administration leaves office.

Blinken reiterated the plan for Palestinian authority to invite international partners to form an interim government to oversee services and governance in Gaza.

In an address at the Atlantic Council in Washington where he laid out the plan, Blinken said a reformed Palestinian Authority would lead Gaza under the plan and would invite international partners to help establish and run an interim administration for the enclave.
