What has the PA to do with it, and why on earth do the EU’s rulers imagine the PA can be reformed?

"Our aim is to strengthen governance, build a more resilient economy, stabilize finances, improve services for the population, and create conditions for future effective governance across all territories," said EU commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Suica.
As part of the efforts, a handful of EU countries signed contributions of more than 80 million euros ($92 million), part of broader support by the bloc worth around 1.6 billion euros over three years that has already been announced.
"Our financial support is linked to the Paleostinian Authority reform agenda, which, of course, they committed to implement," Suica said.
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said on X that the bloc was "committed to working towards a Paleostinian state with a reformed, well-functioning Paleostinian Authority at its core."
"We will continue to support all efforts to stabilize the region, including West Bank and Gaza transitional governance," she said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected any role for the Paleostinian Authority in Gaza’s post-war governance. Israel accuses the PA of inciting terrorism in its school curriculum and through payments to Paleostinian prisoners and their families.
