Here are the key takeaways from the article arguing for long-term US and Israeli control over Gaza:
- Placing Gaza under an international body involving Hamas supporters like Qatar and Turkey would repeat the disastrous failures of the 1993 Oslo Accords, allowing terrorism to persist.
- Only the US and Israel have the proven commitment and capability to actively combat Islamist terror groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and others.
- A proposed “Board of Peace” is misguided and risky, as it would fail to disarm terrorists or ensure stability.
- Temporary joint US-Israeli administration, similar to US approaches in Venezuela or other high-stakes areas, is needed to dismantle terror infrastructure through a firm “Board of War.”
- US and Israeli oversight would ensure humanitarian aid reaches civilians directly, preventing theft and diversion by Hamas that has plagued UN and Palestinian Authority efforts.
- This control would create a secure environment to attract foreign investments, potentially transforming Gaza into a prosperous “Gaza Riviera” with jobs and economic growth.
- Moderate Palestinians, who fear Hamas rule, could emerge and thrive under protections for human rights, free speech, and democracy.
- Many Gazans, weary after years of destruction and terror governance, would secretly prefer US-Israeli administration for peace and better living conditions.
- Strong US-Israeli presence would reassure Arab neighbors (Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE) that Islamist threats like the Muslim Brotherhood are being confronted head-on.
- Alternatives involving the Palestinian Authority, European nations, or Arab states lack the will to fight terrorism, risking renewed violence and broken agreements.
