"Revisiting Gaza: Netanyahu's New Plan for Postwar Reconstruction"

A group of key architects of the U.S. invasion of Iraq has presented a plan for rebuilding and "de-radicalizing" Gaza, while ensuring Israel's "freedom of action" against Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The plan calls for the creation of an "International Trust for Gaza Relief and Reconstruction" led by Arab countries and supported by the U.S. and others, with a focus on deradicalization, security, and dismantling Hamas. The group consists of prominent neoconservatives associated with pro-Israel organizations, and the plan aligns with Likud Party policies.
