More realistic, based on current governance in the 17+ states in the Arab League, is that the Palestinian entity will remain a corrupt, authoritarian, mismanaged authority that will be no more able to disarm armed factions in Gaza than it has been in Jenin or Nablus during the last 25 years.

With that in mind, partitioning Gaza among the different clans while Israeli security hunts down the remnants of Hamas seems like a more practical alternative.

Indeed.

Which Arab states would the author hold up as examples of stable, non strongman democracies that do not default to police state tactics when dealing with serious questioning or opposition?
