How to rebuild a governing body in Gaza without Hamas

Rebuilding a Governing Body in Gaza

To successfully rebuild a governing body in Gaza without Hamas, it is crucial to consider the broader political context.

These kinds of disarmament processes... must be presented and negotiated as part of a wider political settlement.

A disarmament process for Hamas should be part of a larger political agreement, including incentives and sanctions, as well as a pathway towards Palestinian statehood.

This approach is essential, as

disarming Hamas without situating that within a wider set of incentives and sanctions against the organisation, and without a wider pathway towards Palestinian statehood in the longer term, I think that's going to be very difficult.

In conclusion, a comprehensive political settlement is necessary for a successful disarmament process in Gaza.

Author's summary: Rebuilding Gaza's government requires a broader political agreement.
