America need not cancel authority, only surpass it
The article discusses the decline of the Palestinian Authority's position and the international and regional communities' preoccupation with Palestinian issues in a way that makes the Authority more vulnerable to overreach, especially amid ongoing Palestinian divisions and shifting power dynamics. The text emphasizes the necessity of rebuilding the Palestinian Authority on new foundations—focusing on popular legitimacy, strong institutions, and an independent economy—to enhance its ability to influence regional and international decisions. It also clarifies that bypassing the Authority is increasing, as countries like Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar continue direct dealings with Hamas without meaningful involvement from the Authority, thereby threatening to fragment Palestinian representation further and link it more closely to regional projects and indirect international partnerships outside the Authority’s framework. The article affirms that revitalizing the Palestinian Liberation Organization, promoting national unity, and relying on an independent Palestinian dialogue—particularly with China, Russia, and Arab countries—are the paths to reclaiming independent Palestinian decision-making and reducing reliance solely on Washington for shaping the future of the Palestinian cause.
