Sullivan in Ramallah to discuss revamped Palestinian authority, future of Gaza

Washington, Dec 15 : White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan during a visit to Ramallah on Friday will discuss the urgent need to revamp the Palestinian Authority’s capacity and the future of the Gaza Strip, a senior administration official said during a press briefing.

“We’ll talk about … the capacity of the Palestinian Authority, which we recognize needs to be revamped, revitalized, and I think they would tell you that themselves,” the official said on Thursday. “I think we’ll have a pretty good discussion with President [Mahmoud] Abbas and his senior team about primarily stability in the West Bank, but also over time about what comes next in Gaza.”
