Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh tendered his resignation and dissolved the Palestinian Authority (PA) government on Monday, as Israel’s war on Gaza – now in its fifth month – rages on. The move is expected to pave the way for a rejig in the PA in accordance with the post-war reality of Palestine as imagined by the United States. However, Palestinians say that little regard has been given to their demands of autonomy by the West and its allies.
