Fatah, Hamas agree to form committee to run postwar Gaza
[IsraelTimes] Proposal calls for nonpartisan panel to administer Strip, and for all crossings into territory to return to pre-October 2023 operations

Paleostinian terror group Hamas
..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
and the Paleostinian Authority’s Fatah party have agreed to create a committee to jointly administer postwar 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 a rusty 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...
, negotiators from both sides said Tuesday.

Under the plan, which needs the approval of PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....>
, the committee would be composed of 10-15 nonpartisan figures with authority on matters related to the economy, education, health, humanitarian aid, and reconstruction, according to a draft of the proposal seen by AFP.

It is unclear if Israel would agree to the deal being formulated.
Not really unclear, no.
Israel rejects any role for Hamas in Gaza after the war the terror group started last year, and has also said it does not trust Abbas’s PA to run the enclave.
Actually, crystal clear would be a better description.
Following talks in Cairo brokered by Egypt, the two rival factions agreed the committee would administer the Paleostinian side of the Rafah checkpoint on the border with Egypt — the territory’s only crossing not shared with Israel.
That’s nice, boys. Maybe you should try mumblety-peg instead
The Rafah Crossing, a major conduit for humanitarian aid into Gaza, has been closed since Israel captured it in May, with Egyptian authorities refusing to cooperate with Israeli forces on keeping the gateway open.
That’s because Egypt doesn’t want any of those icky Gazans polluting their pristine environs, while Israel doesn’t want more weapons smuggled across the border to Hamas, even if President al-Sisi’s nephew has been making bank on the project.
Fatah’s delegation, led by central party committee member Azzam al-Ahmad, was to return to Ramallah on Tuesday to seek Abbas’s final approval, negotiators from both sides told AFP.

The Hamas delegation was headed by politburo member Khalil al-Hayya.

The London-based pan-Arab news site al-Araby al-Jadeed also said it had seen a copy of the document and reported the agreement lays out plans to establish a committee to administer the Strip, "reporting to the Paleostinian government" based in the West Bank.

The document has six sections, the first of which stresses preserving "the unity" of Paleostinian territories according to the pre-1967 borders, the report said. The second deals with strengthening "communication between the Paleostinian government in the West Bank and the committee in Gaza."

Other sections deal with determining that the committee would act according to the Paleostinian political system and would not bring about a separation between the Gaza Strip and other Paleostinian territories. The committee is to continue its work until "the reasons that led to its formation are eliminated," general elections are held, "or another formula agreed upon nationally is adopted."

The committee will only begin its work after border crossings into Gaza return to operating as before October 2023 and the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt is reopened according to a 2005 agreement that put its operation in the hands of Egypt and the Paleostinian Authority, under the supervision of the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, the report said.

A final formula for the plan also requires ratification by all Paleostinian factions at a meeting that would again be held in Cairo, al-Arabiya reported.

On Monday, Egypt’s foreign minister said that Fatah and Hamas representatives were in Cairo for talks seeking to bring postwar Gaza under the full control of the Fatah-dominated PA.

#2 per the article, ", the committee would be composed of 10-15 nonpartisan figures with authority on matters related to the economy, education, health, humanitarian aid, and reconstruction...."

what about security - that's the most important matter, if you don't have security you can't do any of these things -- if Hamas provides security, it is just a disaster, if Fatah provides security it is a disaster of a different kind

#3 OK. Let them have their little committee. But Bibi should assign one of his generals to be Governor of Gaza and the committee must answer to the governor. The occupation should continue indefinitely. No more tunnels. No more Iranian weapons. No more hate speech in the mosques or on TV.
