BREAKING NEWS: U.S.–Israel Talks on Post-War Gaza Governance

Recent reports reveal that the United States and Israel are in discussions about establishing a transitional administration led by the U.S. to govern Gaza after the ongoing war. The aim of this administration would be to restore peace and demilitarize the territory before handing over control to a capable Palestinian government.

Some Israeli officials are exploring strategies that include dividing Gaza into security zones and setting up permanent military bases—raising further concerns about the region’s future.

The plan resembles the U.S.-led authority established in Iraq after the 2003 invasion, which faced heavy criticism before power was handed over in 2004. This time, other countries may join the transitional process, though no names have been mentioned. Notably, neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority (PA), which currently governs parts of the West Bank, would be included.

Critics warn that such a move could trigger unrest and political backlash, especially if it is seen as a foreign occupation.

In response, a U.S. State Department spokesperson stated: “We want peace and the immediate release of the hostages. Our principles remain firm—support for Israel and the pursuit of peace.”

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his officials have not commented on the issue.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has suggested that a transitional period may involve moderate Arab nations, but emphasized that Israel does not wish to control the civilian lives of Gazans—its focus is strictly on security.

Hamas has outright rejected any foreign-led administration. “The people of Gaza should choose their own leaders,” said Ismail Al-Thawabta, head of Hamas’ media office in Gaza.

Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has proposed an international coalition to govern Gaza, on the condition that it includes the PA and offers a clear path to Palestinian statehood. However, the Israeli government opposes PA involvement and rejects Palestinian sovereignty.

As the war rages on and Israel continues its offensive in an attempt to rescue remaining hostages, Gaza’s health ministry reports that over 52,000 people have lost their lives.

At the same time, some Israeli lawmakers are proposing highly controversial measures—such as the mass relocation of Gaza’s population and the rebuilding of Jewish settlements in the enclave. These proposals are intensifying concerns about the region’s long-term stability.
