Don’t Let Hamas Have a Say in Gaza’s Postwar Government
Political power is as important as disarmament.
As negotiations continue among the U.S., Arab states, Israel, and the UN about the fate of Gaza, much of the focus has been on establishing an international security force, reconstruction, and the disarmament of Hamas. At the same time, Egypt is trying to negotiate a deal between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas that would pave the way for the setting up the “technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee” that, according to President Trump’s twenty-point plan, would be responsible for the “temporary transitional governance” of Gaza. The committee itself would be under the supervision of the Board of Peace, an international body whose members would include Donald Trump and Tony Blair. Ghaith al-Omari comments:
