Israel Foreign Ministry team reportedly draws up document on post-war Gaza; no overt role for PA
2023-12-19
[IsraelTimes] A Foreign Ministry team has been working in recent weeks on an Israeli vision for Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
on the day after the war ends, Channel 12 reports.

The team was established by Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, and the document is intended to be presented for discussion by the cabinet, the report says.

The guiding principle, the TV report says, is: "Israel is working to bring about a future in which the Paleostinians will govern themselves with no capacity to threaten Israel."

The document includes no specific provision for a role for the Paleostinian Authority, as the US has said it ultimately seeks, but does hint at a role for Gaza-based officials from the PA’s main Fatah component.

Regarding security, the document provides for "complete freedom of action for the IDF" in Gaza; prevention of any rearming and the "enforcement of full demilitarization" in the enclave; the establishment of "buffer zones"; a mechanism to prevent smuggling; oversight of the Philadelphi Corridor along the Gaza-Egypt border and at the Rafah border crossing, and a "maritime security force."

Regarding civil governance, the document provides for "an international mechanism to handle humanitarian services."

It envisages key regional states including Egypt, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, and the UAE administering civilian life, along with international organizations already active in Gaza including UN agencies, together with "local elements not identified with Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
" — which the TV report describes as "a euphemism" for Gaza-based Fatah clerks.

The document also reportedly provides for an overhaul of the curriculum in UNRWA schools.
