Biden considers appointing US civilian advisor for Gaza after the War

The President of the United States, Joe Biden, said he is considering appointing a U.S official to act as a civilian advisor to a predominantly Palestinian force following the end of the Gaza war.

According to Politico, the U.S official said that the advisor would be based in either Sinai or Jordan and would never set foot inside Gaza to avoid any appearance that the U.S. was in control of the territory.
