Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa told Al Arabiya on Tuesday that Hamas should clarify its official position regarding the issues of Gaza’s governance and the group’s weapons.

Mustafa said that “any state that respects itself does not accept the plurality of weapons, law and governance.”

He stressed that weapons, law and order in the Gaza Strip must exclusively be in the hands of the Palestinian state.

The Palestinian premier, however, notde that Israel doesn’t want the Palestinian Authority to govern Gaza again.

“But Gaza must be run entirely by the PA and we do not accept partial roles,” Mustafa stressed.

He noted that the Palestinian government has agreed with Arab states on supporting the PA in carrying out its duties in Gaza. Mustafa also highlighted Saudi Arabia’s role in garnering support for the Palestinian state.

“Our forces are being trained in Egypt and Jordan in order to carry out their duties in Gaza,” the premier said adding that there are 18,000 security personnel are in Gaza and are ready to resume their duties.
