____________________________________________ 2 IICC Perspectives operate as necessary, in cooperation with Egypt and with American assistance, to prevent arms from being smuggled into the Gaza Strip above and below ground, including through the Rafah Crossing." The civilian administration in the Gaza Strip and responsibility for public order will be based on "local residents with experience in management who are not affiliated with terrorism-supporting states or entities." The Palestinian Authority is not mentioned. In addition, the reconstruction of Gaza will be postponed until after it has been demilitarized and "the deradicalization all the religious, educational and welfare institutions in the Gaza Strip have begun." As for the long term, Netanyahu emphasized his opposition to the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, stating that "the permanent settlement will be reached exclusively through direct negotiations between the parties without preconditions. Israel will control the security of the entire area west of Jordan, including the cities, towns and villages surrounding the Gaza Strip." A reorganized Palestinian Authority will not dare to return to the Gaza Strip while the conflict and occupation continue. So, the plan is as follows: both security and civilian life in the Gaza Strip should rest on the prime minister's program of a wide range of unilateral measures, including the dismantling of UNRWA, while the political solution, conditioned upon Israel's consent, is postponed to sometime in the distant future, while here Netanyahu rejects any unilateral move. Thus, it can be assumed that his objective for the unilateral early stages is to create circumstances in order to dictate the political end-game, which will be postponed indefinitely. In the geopolitical circumstances in the Gaza Strip after October 7, there is a close connection between managing the conflict or the opposite – a political settlement, and the identity of whoever winds up filling the political void. Managing the conflict forces Israel to the fill the void to keep Hamas from filling it. But at the same time, continuing to ignore a potential role of the reorganized Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip and weakening it in Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in the Gaza Strip: a disastrous gap between the military effort and its strategic results and consequences.
