What fate reserves the Zionist entity in Gaza after the war assuming that it manages to eliminate Hamas? In this context, the Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant presented, in the evening of Thursday, January 4, 2024, his first plan of “the post-war” in the Gaza Strip.
This plan, based on an optimistic scenario for the Israelis, and whose main lines have been revealed, projects that the Gaza Strip will be governed without Hamas or the Israeli civil administration after the fighting.
This Yoav Gallant plan was revealed to the press but has not yet obtained the approval of the Benjamin Netanyahu War Cabinet, knowing that the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, called on Monday, on a return of Jewish settlers to Gaza after the war and to “encourage” the Palestinian population to emigrate.
The unveiling of this plan comes on the eve of a new visit to the Middle East of the American Diplomacy Antony Blinken, who aims, among other things, to avoid a propagation of war between Israel and Hamas, in power in Gaza since 2007
Be that as it may, the Zionist entity remains determined to continue the war in Gaza until the “return of hostages” and to the “dismantling of military and governance of Hamas”.
The plan does not provide for an Israeli civil presence in the Gaza Strip after the war, but the occupation army would however keep its freedom of action in Gaza, which will have to be administered by the Palestinians on the condition that there is no hostile action or threatened against Israel.
It remains to be seen whether this plan will be applied, even in the event of victory of the Israelis, as they presumed knowing that in Gaza, Hamas enjoys immense popularity and that the president of the Palestinian authority, Mahmoud Abbas, who is currently sitting in occupied West Bank, is not in the smell of holiness in this territory.
The Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority, Mohammed Shtayyyeh, has another opinion on the issue. In an interview with Financial Times, he recalled that Israel “wants to politically separate the Gaza Strip from the West Bank”.
He does not think “that Israel will leave Gaza very soon”, and rather believes “that Israel will create its own civil administration which will operate under the authority of its occupation army”.
