Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas outlined a vision for governing Gaza post-conflict, asserting the State of Palestine as the "only legitimate authority" to assume full responsibility. He proposed a temporary administrative committee with Arab and international backing, explicitly stating that Hamas would have no role in governance and must disarm.

• Abbas condemned the "crimes of the occupation" and the killing and kidnapping of civilians, including Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks.
• He called for an immediate halt to Israeli settlement construction, annexation, and settler violence, and denounced policies isolating Jerusalem.
• Abbas proposed reforms including financial overhaul, aligning school curricula with UNESCO standards within two years, and a unified social welfare program following an international audit of payments to prisoners and martyrs' families.
• He reaffirmed commitment to presidential and parliamentary elections within one year after the war and drafting a temporary constitution within three months, with eligibility limited to parties accepting the Palestine Liberation Organization's political program.
• Abbas called for wider recognition of Palestinian statehood and full UN membership, thanking countries like Spain, Ireland, Norway, Slovenia, and Armenia for recent recognition.
