After a year of devastating attacks on Gaza by Israel, the region is left in ruins with over 41,000 Palestinians killed and 90% of the population displaced. The focus has shifted to the “day after” amidst failed ceasefire negotiations, revealing Israel’s endgame for Gaza.
Various plans are being proposed for the future of Gaza, with common themes of governance, security, and international aid. The US administration envisions a post-war Gaza with a new Palestinian Authority governing within a two-state solution framework. Israel’s Minister of Defence suggests a multinational task force overseeing reconstruction.
However, the current Israeli leadership aims to remove most of Gaza’s population, retaining control over the territory post-genocide. This mirrors the West Bank model of governance, where Israel maintains dominance while presenting a facade of Palestinian self-rule.
By exporting this model to Gaza, Israel seeks to solidify its control and continue colonization unabated, under the guise of a commitment to a two-state solution.
Shatha Abdulsamad, a Palestinian researcher and policy analyst based in Berlin, shares insights on the situation.
