In the aftermath of the conflict in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presented a comprehensive plan for the region’s governance. According to Israeli media reports, the plan aims to establish local Palestinian officials to oversee civil affairs in Gaza, excluding any affiliation with Hamas or its international allies.
Netanyahu’s proposal, submitted to the security cabinet, underscores Israel’s commitment to continuing its offensive against Hamas until key objectives are met. These objectives include dismantling Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as well as securing the release of all hostages held in Gaza.
The plan envisions the administration of Gaza by local officials with administrative expertise, devoid of ties to terrorist-supporting entities. Additionally, it grants the Israeli military indefinite operational freedom within Gaza to combat any resurgence of terrorist activities.
Furthermore, the proposal outlines the establishment of a security buffer zone along Gaza’s border and asserts Israeli security control over the entire area west of the Jordan River to mitigate threats from terrorist elements.
Central to the plan is the complete demilitarization of Gaza beyond what is necessary for public order maintenance. It also emphasizes the promotion of de-radicalization efforts across religious, educational, and welfare institutions in Gaza.
Significantly, the plan includes the dismantling of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, following allegations of its employees’ involvement in attacks against Israel.
Israel’s proposal seeks to address long-standing security concerns while striving for stability and peace in the region. Netanyahu’s plan emphasizes the need for comprehensive measures to ensure the safety and prosperity of both Israeli and Palestinian populations.
