Biden Envoy Meets Palestine's Abbas on Israel-Hamas War

Bloomberg Quicktake: Now The United States National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah on Friday as talks over postwar scenarios for Gaza are held. The United States agrees with Israel that the fight against Hamas will take months, but officials are discussing the timetable for scaling back from high-intensity combat to more precise ways of targeting the militant group’s leaders, the top U.S. envoy said Friday.
This comes amid growing American unease about the mounting death toll in Gaza. In meetings with Israeli leaders on Thursday and Friday, Sullivan discussed a timetable for winding down the intense combat phase of the war. Following talks with Israeli officials, Sullivan met with Abbas to discuss the besieged enclave’s postwar future, which, according to a senior U.S. official, could include bringing back Palestinian security forces driven from their jobs in Gaza by Hamas in its 2007 takeover.
American and Israeli officials have been vague in public about how Gaza will be run if Israel achieves its goal of ending Hamas control. Sullivan met Friday with Abbas, who lost control of Gaza when Hamas drove out his security forces in 2007.
