As attention shifts toward regional war, a new plan sets a clear condition: disarmament is not optional, because militia control—not military strength—is what continues to hold the Strip hostage.
As I said in this piece, Hamas will oppose any plan that makes them irrelevant, even if that means not rebuilding Gaza and even if it means not solving the Palestinian question; this is how Hamas thrives through chaos and destruction, they literally invest in it.
In many ways this war has been between two extremists. Hamas in Gaza, and the Netanyahu Likud maximalist ideology in Israel. Both have left their citizenry battered and poorer for their efforts.
This is helpful information. Thanks for this contribution.
Thanks Kathy.
