"Whatever fragile political system existed in Gaza has collapsed, along with the institutions that once gave public life its structure. Hamas, weakened militarily and decapitated by the assassinations of its leaders, faces isolation abroad and a diminished mandate at home. The Palestinian Authority, long discredited in the West Bank, has been absent in Gaza. Leftist factions survive as symbols rather than as real organizations. Independent political figures are scattered or silenced."
"Announced by Trump at the White House in late September, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his side, the twenty-point framework promises to end the war, restart aid, and stand up a transitional authority to run Gaza. It creates a "temporary International Stabilization Force," an apolitical technocratic Palestinian committee under a new international "Board of Peace," chaired by Trump himself."
Gaza's fragile political system and public institutions have collapsed. Hamas is militarily weakened, its leadership decapitated, facing isolation abroad and a reduced mandate at home. The Palestinian Authority has been absent in Gaza, and leftist factions exist more as symbols than active organizations. Independent political figures are scattered or silenced, leaving no functioning political body with authority or legitimacy. A twenty-point plan proposed by President Trump promises to end the war, restart aid, and establish a transitional authority. The plan proposes a temporary International Stabilization Force, an apolitical technocratic Palestinian committee under an international Board of Peace chaired by Trump, with foreign oversight, hostage-prisoner exchanges, amnesty for disarmed Hamas members, safe passage options, humanitarian surges, and phased Israeli military withdrawal tied to verified security benchmarks including demilitarization and border arrangements.
