ANKARA: The Palestinian Authority hopes a ceasefire can be agreed in the Gaza war in time for Ramazan, its foreign minister, Riyad al-Maliki, said on Saturday.
Speaking at a news conference at a diplomatic forum in Antalya, Turkiye, Maliki said the PA would be “the only legitimate authority” to run Gaza after the war. The PA, which exercises limited self rule in parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, lost control of Gaza to the Hamas in 2007.
