Blinken calls for united Palestinian government for Gaza and West Bank after war ends

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:13:35 GMT

By ELLEN KNICKMEYER and JOSEF FEDERMANWASHINGTON — Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on Wednesday for a united and Palestinian-led government for Gaza and the West Bank after the war ends, as a step toward Palestinian statehood. That vision sharpens U.S. differences with ally Israel on what the future should look like for the Palestinian territories once Israel’s military campaign against Hamas winds down.Blinken’s outline of what Americans think should come next for Gaza also serves as a check on the postwar scenarios floated by officials of Israel’s hard-right government and its supporters. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement Monday that Israel’s military would likely maintain security control of Gaza for an “indefinite period” appears to have heightened U.S. concerns.Any postwar governing plan for Gaza “must include Palestinian-led governance and Gaza unified with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority,” Blinken told reporters in Japan.APPEALING TO PRESIDE...

49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks shifts to sideline for Jaguars game

SANTA CLARA — Steve Wilks, come on down, your new spot is on the sideline, signifying the latest change to the 49ers’ underachieving defense.Wilks, the 49ers’ first-year defensive coordinator, will move down from the coaching booth for Sunday’s game at the Jacksonville Jaguars, coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday.Players did not react as if Wilks’ move is the solution to their three-game losing streak. After all, trading for defensive end Chase Young last week should have a bigger impact — on whatever and wherever Wilks makes calls.So, why move Wilks, a long-time NFL coach whose stated preference was to call plays from above as he keeps his emotions in check?“I kind of wanted him to be down and be near our players,” Shanahan said. “They’ve had that more, just with the linebackers’ communication in the past.
