Since the Palestinian attacks of October 7, 2023, the European Union and Arab countries have been seeking to transform the Palestinian Authority into an alternative government in Gaza to replace Hamas. This is what lies behind the two-state conference sponsored on Monday in New York by France and Saudi Arabia, at which several countries allied with Israel took the step of formally recognizing the Palestinian state. This is an international refloating of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), a body completely discredited among Palestinians due to its lack of democratic guarantees, corruption, and nepotism. This is why French President Emmanuel Macron is pushing for a reform of the Authority led by Mahmoud Abbas. However, what is far from clear is whether refloating it is part of the plans of Benjamin Netanyahu's government, which is already preparing the annexation of the other Palestinian territory, the West Bank, where the PA still exercises some administrative functions while the Israeli occupation intensifies.
