As far I can tell the PA Charter includes the following:

1. Palestine's Boundaries: The charter defined Palestine as the entire territory of Mandatory Palestine, including Israel, and rejected any partition of the land.

2. Right of Return: It asserted the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties.

3. Armed Struggle: The charter endorsed armed struggle as the principal strategy for achieving its goals, considering it a legitimate right.

The PA cannot be the governing body of Gaza. Doing so would allow a repeat of the atrocities of October 7, 2023.

I agree. Palestinian nationalism in its present form is too thoroughly infected with antisemitism to be trusted, and the PA promotes it. Thus, though I'm aware that an Israeli occupation of Gaza would be problematical to say the least, it looks to me like the least worst option in the short to medium term.
