A way forward, ex-Palestinian FM Nasser Kidwa calls for Arab security presence in Gaza
In an exclusive interview with Al-Monitor, former Palestinian Foreign Minister Nasser al-Kidwa said that Palestinians must be serious and practical in order to reach an agreement to end the war in Gaza and establish a Palestinian state.
One year on from the devastating October 7 attacks on Israel's border communities and the ensuing brutal war in Gaza, Al-Monitor marks the anniversary with special coverage. It includes interviews with prominent Palestinian and Israeli figures, along with reports from Gaza, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv.
Former Palestinian Foreign Minister Nasser al-Kidwa was clear in his interview with Al-Monitor that he wants to provide alternatives to the current deadlocked situation in Palestine and Israel, and didn’t seem to worry about the criticism he is getting.
In late August, Kidwa, along with Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, created a roadmap for a two-state solution.
Kidwa, who is the nephew of former Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, said the joint plan emphasized three main areas: the war in Gaza, the issue of Jerusalem and the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
