Israel's Postwar Dilemma: Navigating Gaza's Future Amid Conflict

Diplomatic efforts are intensifying to plan for "the day after" the conflict in Gaza ends, with EU foreign ministers and Middle Eastern counterparts discussing potential political solutions. Key focuses include reviving the two-state solution and supporting the Palestinian Authority to govern post-war Gaza. However, there is little agreement on the specifics, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's opposition to involving the Palestinian Authority remains a significant obstacle. The US is also pushing for an international force to secure Gaza, but Arab states demand a clear political process and recognition of a Palestinian state.
