What challenges are involved in determining the future governance of Gaza during ceasefire negotiations?
The second phase of the ceasefire negotiations presents significant challenges regarding Gaza's future governance. Three key questions emerge: who will rule Gaza Strip, who will fund reconstruction, and whether Israeli troops will completely withdraw. Israel has clearly stated they don't want Hamas involved in Gaza's governance, while Hamas has expressed openness to either a technocratic government or a new Palestinian national government. Multiple international actors are involved in addressing these questions, including the United States and Arab states, who are particularly keen on finding a solution that prevents mass displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
