Challenges in Establishing Governance in the Gaza Strip
As the war in the Gaza Strip persists, Israel faces a critical question regarding the region’s governance post-conflict.
As the war in the Gaza Strip persists, Israel faces a critical question regarding the region’s governance post-conflict.
The new Palestinian PM presented the vision of the “Revitalized PA” that will be established, but there is no word in his vision about the war on terror, stopping the payment of salaries to terrorists and stopping incitement in the PA’s education system and media. There is also no statement of intent in his vision to return to the PA the security control over northern Samaria that it lost more than two years ago to armed terrorist groups supported by Iran.
The Palestinian political system is outraged by the appointment of Mohammed Moustafa as the new prime minister and says that the new government will fail like its predecessors because it is not trusted by the Palestinian street.
Senior officials in the Fatah movement accuse Muhammad Moustafa of acts of corruption, his associates deny and say that these are lies based on political rivalry.
In the coming days, Israel and the United Arab Emirates will initiate a maritime logistics operation to transfer humanitarian aid from Cyprus to the northern Gaza Strip, aiming to significantly increase the food supply in the region.
Mohamed Dahlan, a senior member of Fatah, has been entrusted with overseeing this operation on behalf of the United Arab Emirates, with coordination also taking place with the Hamas movement.
Since the outset of the conflict in the Gaza Strip, numerous members of the PA security forces have been implicated in terrorist activities against Israel. Despite this, the PA leadership has refrained from actively combating terrorism and has failed to condemn the October 7 massacre. It’s imperative for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to maintain military pressure in Judea and Samaria to forestall any security escalations during Ramadan.
Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Ishtayeh tendered his resignation to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas after serving in the position for five years.
Ishtayeh’s government will continue to function as a transitional administration until a successor is appointed.
The PA leadership opposes the release of Marwan Barghouti from prison due to his perceived challenge to the authority of Mahmoud Abbas.
There are concerns within the PA that the release of hundreds of Hamas military wing operatives, as part of an anticipated deal between Israel and Hamas, may destabilize the PA.
Recent developments in the Gaza Strip conflict have spurred a significant shift in Saudi Arabia’s approach to the normalization agreement with Israel, with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman adopting a more rigid stance.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) recently announced reforms to its governing mechanisms, purportedly in response to the Biden administration’s request.
However, these changes appear to be merely cosmetic, casting doubt on the viability of the Biden administration’s vision for a “Revitalized PA.”
The prospect of implementing clan rule in the Gaza Strip stands out as one of the worst options that could undermine Israel’s security.
It is imperative for the political echelon to align with the Biden administration, supporting the idea that a “Revitalized PA” should govern Gaza after undergoing comprehensive reforms.
