A key pillar of forced stabilisation in Gaza is a unified and comprehensive security framework," Mr Mustafa said. "This should be done through the implementation of the policy of one state, one government, one law and one gun, the gradual and responsible collection of arms from all armed groups, and also the full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
Such efforts are essential, but they must be part of a broader political strategy that leads to sovereignty. Security without sovereignty will not endure. English translation
[Source is in English (The National); editorial context, not a translation.] Declared positions of Dr Mohammad Mustafa — Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority since March 2024, a technocrat and economist appointed to reform the PA and position it to govern a post-war Gaza. From his remarks in Brussels alongside EU foreign-affairs chief Kaja Kallas and Belgian FM Maxime Prevot (~20 April 2026). He advocates the PA's "one state, one government, one law and one gun" framework — a single national authority holding a monopoly on arms, requiring the gradual and "responsible" collection of weapons from all armed groups (i.e. including Hamas), a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and Palestinian sovereignty as the precondition for durable security ("Security without sovereignty will not endure"). This technocratic, state-monopoly-on-arms position contrasts sharply with the "resistance" figures elsewhere in the dataset (Hezbollah's Qassem, PIJ's al-Nakhalah, Amal's Berri), who reject disarmament.
