The article outlines various proposals regarding the governance of Gaza post-conflict, highlighting divergent views including President Trump's plan for U.S. governance and a Palestinian-led approach. With the recent cease-fire, discussions intensified around who should govern Gaza, but many plans are unacceptable to key stakeholders like Israel, Hamas, and Arab nations. Former U.S. ambassador Thomas R. Nides emphasizes the difficulty in finding common ground due to the fundamental oppositions between the involved parties, especially regarding Hamas, which Israel seeks to eliminate while it desires to maintain military capabilities.
"Each plan contains something unacceptable to either Israel or Hamas, or to the Arab countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia who some hope will fund and partially oversee Gaza's future."
"The central challenge is that Israel wants a Hamas-free Gaza whereas the group still seeks to retain its military wing, which led the October 2023 attack on Israel that ignited the war."
