Israeli Maariv: Israel is preparing a plan for Egypt and Jordan after the war in Gaza.
Israeli media revealed a new Israeli plan currently being prepared to administer the Gaza Strip after the end of the ongoing war.
Under the title: “An Arab coalition and a security buffer zone...this is what the Gaza Strip should look like the day after the war,” the Israeli newspaper “Maariv” said in a report written by Yaakov Perry, a military analyst, former intelligence officer and former head of the Israeli Shin Bet service, that there is no doubt that Israel's main concern for the day after the war is this solution, as the government promised the residents of the Gaza envelope security peace and the end of Hamas's ruling and military capabilities, otherwise there will be a lot of residents who do not want to return to their homes.
He added that as the fighting progresses and international pressure increases to stop the fighting, ideas and preparations for the post-war period are increasing as to who will govern the Strip and in what form, who will take it upon himself to manage this densely populated region, and who is truly desired and appropriate to manage such a problematic and complex region.
He said that no plan or proposal acceptable to the leadership in Israel has yet been agreed upon, and in addition, there are profound differences between the desire of the United States to hand over control to the Palestinian Authority while strengthening it, and the absolute negative Israeli position towards this solution.
Yaakov Perry, a political analyst at the Hebrew newspaper, said: “The United States will succeed in convincing Egypt to participate effectively and purposefully in the solution, perhaps in exchange for waiving some of its heavy financial obligations to the United States, and after that an Arab coalition must be formed, in which Egypt, Jordan, the Emirates, and Morocco will play an effective role.” , which will take over the civil administration of the sector.”
He added: "It will also be possible to establish a police force on behalf of the United Nations (which will act as civil, criminal and traffic police) and to allow Palestinian intervention in the Gaza Strip. Israel will not object to the participation of the Palestinian Authority representative in the Gaza Strip."
He went on to say: “The coalition that will be formed, but on the condition that the share of power is equal to the participation of others, and the Gaza Strip will be divided into administrative regions, and a president will be appointed for each region, according to which professional staff officers (education, health, etc.) from the coalition countries will be in charge, with Allowing Israel to interfere in security matters, and a perimeter will be created on the Gaza Strip’s borders with Israel, a security buffer zone whose entry will be prohibited, and the transfer between Israel and the Gaza Strip will be implemented at the Erez crossing.”
He continued: “Workers will not be allowed to leave the Gaza Strip to Israel, and there will be no civil relations between the Gaza Strip and Israel, and the residents of Gaza will have the ability to move or work in Arab countries according to arrangements with these countries, and this is a proposed structure that Israel can adopt, while preserving on the security of its territories, and especially the peace and security of its inhabitants.”
