War cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot presented a plan for post-war Gaza to the war cabinet earlier this week as an alternative to an outline drawn up by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month, Ynet reports.
Following the removal of Hamas from power and the return of all hostages held by the terror group, Eisenkot’s plan proposes that the responsibility for Gaza’s civilians be transferred to a local Palestinian entity operating under the supervision of a coalition led by Arab states and the US, the report says.
The reported outline also stipulates that a reformed Palestinian entity would be crucial to the success of post-war Gaza. It would be required to actively work to stop terrorism against Israel, refresh the education system so it no longer incites terror against Israel, and end “pay to slay” policies.
Should an entity be established that meets the requirements, Israel would then present it as a viable temporary alternative to the US’s demand for an independent Palestinian state, Ynet reports.
Eisenkot’s plan is also said to require any future Palestinian entity or state to be completely demilitarized.
