"Netanyahu's Vision for Gaza's Future: Security Control and Postwar Plans"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's postwar plan for Gaza, which includes demilitarizing Gaza, closing its border with Egypt, exerting security control over the entire area west of Jordan, and rejecting international dictates regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians, is out of step with what the US wants and would generate significant opposition within Gaza and worldwide. The plan tests the limits of American goodwill and may be designed more to send diplomatic signals than to be a blueprint for future policies. It also faces operational feasibility challenges and could lead to further hostilities and fuel the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
