As Israeli forces intensify their assault against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, discussions are emerging about the potential scenarios for the aftermath if Hamas were to be removed from power.
These discussions involve diplomatic efforts at various levels, including Washington, the United Nations, and the Middle East region.
Some of the proposed options include deploying a multinational force to oversee post-conflict Gaza, establishing an interim Palestinian-led administration that excludes Hamas members, involving neighboring Arab states in providing temporary security and governance, and even considering temporary UN supervision of the territory.
These deliberations are still in the early, informal stages, but they underscore the growing recognition that addressing the governance and security vacuum in Gaza will be a complex and multifaceted challenge in the event of significant political changes. Discussions also acknowledge the need for broad international cooperation to stabilize the situation in Gaza and avoid further humanitarian crises.
