The U.S. and Israel have discussed the possibility of Washington leading a temporary administration in Gaza after the war, according to five sources familiar with the details who spoke to Reuters. According to the report, the 'high-level' consultations focused on a temporary administration led by an American official who would oversee developments in Gaza until its demilitarization and stabilization, and until a 'practical Palestinian government' is established there. The report indicates that initial discussions did not determine how long the temporary American administration would remain in Gaza, as this would depend on conditions on the ground. The quoted sources said that additional countries would be invited to participate in Gaza's administration.
