Trump's 21-Point Plan Extends to Judea and Samaria
(Israel Hayom) Danny Zaken - The American plan for the day after the Gaza war includes sweeping changes in Judea and Samaria, according to several American and Arab sources. The American initiative includes turning all the refugee camps there into "ordinary" neighborhoods and abolishing their residents' refugee status. Other elements include shutting down UNRWA's activities, deep structural reforms within the Palestinian Authority, major changes to its education system as part of a de-radicalization process, expanding that process to the broader population, and banning incitement. Gulf states are expected to commit to significant investments in the Palestinian Authority only if it implements the reforms. Asked whether the plan paves the way for a Palestinian state, an American diplomat replied: "Not at this stage." An Israeli diplomat said Israel would likely adopt the plan, but would seek clarifications on issues such as the stages of an Israeli withdrawal and the Palestinian Authority's involvement in Gaza's rehabilitation and governance.
