Report: The Palestinian Authority returns Gaza after the war and complete Israeli security control
“A settlement regarding the governance of the Gaza Strip will be based on local employees and people who do not belong to Hamas, and Arab countries will pump money, and there will be security zones on the outskirts of the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians can be present in order to work in agriculture.”
The military analyst on the Ynet website, Ron Ben Yishai, discussed what he described as an Israeli plan for the aftermath of the war on Gaza. He stressed that Israel has no plan to end the war. He considered that "there is a need to end the fighting in the entire Gaza Strip first, and according to the field results, Israel will decide with the Americans and the United Nations regarding a preliminary settlement of control in the Gaza Strip.
Ben Yishai added that the Israeli plan that he reviewed in his analysis may change significantly, and that the final plan is related to the situation on the ground at the end of the war.
According to him, “a settlement regarding the governance of the Gaza Strip will be based on local employees and people who do not belong to Hamas. In fact, there are entire governing bodies in the Gaza Strip that are still receiving salaries from the Palestinian Authority, 16 years after Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip.”
He continued, "Arab countries will pump money for humanitarian stability, and in the first stage, the Israeli army and the Shin Bet will continue to have security control in the Gaza Strip."
He added that according to the plan being developed in Israel, after that there will be another stage or two “for a permanent settlement in the Gaza Strip, according to which the Palestinian Authority will have civilian control over the Gaza Strip, but the Israeli army and the Shin Bet will have freedom of intelligence action and thwarting (Palestinian operations), like Area B.” In the West Bank, the Americans propose deploying an international police force, not an American one, in the Strip.”
He added that there will be "security zones on the outskirts of the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians will be able to be present in order to work in agriculture, but they will not be able to stay there for a long time and will not be able to carry weapons or establish observation points."
He pointed out, “According to the American demand, the final stage will be political negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, perhaps within the framework and under the auspices of an international conference. According to the American administration at least, the goal is to reach a situation in which there are two states for two peoples, with a corridor linking Gaza to the West Bank. And in all "Circumstances, it is not expected that the current government will push for real negotiations that achieve the results that the Americans want."
