Egypt’s proposal to rebuild and manage Gaza has emerged as an urgent intervention in the crisis that has been revealed since October 7, 2023. Supported by Arab countries, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and many European countries, the plan is not just a humanitarian initiative – it is the geography of Netanyahu, and the President of the United States recently supports Donald Trump, to dismantle the Gaza Strip.

For several months, the Arab countries hesitated to enter the role of rebuilding and rule Gaza without a comprehensive initiative to address the basic issue of not frustrating the Palestinian. An effectively, they were resisting the attraction to the role of the Palestinian Authority (PA) 2.0, and they tyranny the responsibilities of Israel as an occupying power while the Israelis continued their colonial expansion in the West Bank. However, the existential threat posed by Trump and Netanyahu’s vision of Gaza forced them to work.

In essence, the $ 53 billion reconstruction plan depends on the establishment of a local directive committee consisting of technocrats during the first six months, with a move to control of the Palestinian Authority after that. But this approach carries basic problems that can destroy the failure plan before implementing it.

Netanyahu’s obstruction

The Israeli Prime Minister was clear in his opposition to any role of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza. His strategic position: Allow the Palestinian Authority in the administration of the region opens the door for the geopolitical unity between Gaza and the West Bank, which is the stone of movement to renew negotiations with a Palestinian state.

For decades, the political establishment of Netanyahu and Israel has worked to prevent any scenario that could lead to the report of the Palestinian destiny. The current situation of fragmentation and division between the Palestinian territories serves their interests, while maintaining the state’s goal away from hand.

To combat Netanyahu effectively, the Arab countries need to buy the largest possible number of other actors, especially the Trump administration, which has a leverage to force the Israeli Prime Minister to accept it.

Although Netanyahu may still seek to undermine its implementation by imposing bureaucratic obstacles, military escalation or economic restrictions-part of the book of the Israeli play well-the Arab plan remains the best option on the table to prevent ethnic cleansing in Gaza by renewing war and long-term long term.

Palestinian authority in a crisis

In addition to the Israeli resistance, there is another major obstacle to the implementation of the Arab plan: the Palestinian Authority. During the era of President Mahmoud Abbas, it is an unpopular institution that lacks political importance after the collapse of the Oslo agreements.

Over the years, Abbas has accelerated his legitimacy by continuing security coordination with Israel, deepening his authoritarian rule, and refusing to hold elections since 2006. His leadership has been increasingly defined through oppression – opposition factions, political renewal, and any resistance to Israeli attack.

Without an applicable political process, the Palestinian Authority has become attached to the occupation of Israel, the racist semester, and the imposition of security in the West Bank, with no real authority to rule as an independent entity. This has been fueled by a large -scale Palestinian hope. Abbas’s grip on power increasingly required a heavy hand, especially against activists and factions calling for a more confronting approach to Israeli policies of ethnic cleansing.

The failure of the Palestinian Authority has been especially blatant during the past 16 months of the genocide attacks on Israel on Gaza and the West Bank. Abbas was largely absent from the efforts made to mobilize the Palestinian resistance, his silence and his inaction reflected his limitations.

His government not only lost the confidence of the Palestinian people, but also not related to the wider geopolitical players, including Israel, the United States and the Arab countries.

Political vacuum

Abbas’s dependence on Israel and international donors to the Palestinian Authority depends on preserving power on his feet on giving priority to their demands for his people, which are largely opposed to each other. As his home popularity decreased later, authoritarianism became more severe.

Recently, a campaign began on the Palestinian resistance groups in the northwestern city of Jenin, and has destroyed financial support for Palestinian families who were imprisoned, killed or wounded by Israel.

This step, which was crashed into a long -term social connection between the Palestinian people and their leadership, has only emphasized the extent to which the Palestinian Authority seeks to appease Israel and the West at the expense of legitimacy at home.

Now, in the face of the urgent need for Palestinian rule in Gaza, the Arab countries find themselves without a real life partner. The current Palestinian Authority leadership is weak, corrupt, and it is likely to be unable to give the tape effectively.

Some within the Arab world, as well as Palestinian civil society and expatriates, press for a new leadership. However, Abbas has resisted his loyalists any such efforts. In the middle of February, the Palestinian Authority prevented 33 delegates to the Palestinian National Conference held in Doha-which was described as an effort at the level of al-Qaeda to revive the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)-from leaving the West Bank.

At the same time, in an attempt to accommodate the opposition of the Arab government, Abbas extended an offer to the Amnesty Organization for drivers in Fatah, especially Mohamed Danan, his rival supported by the United Arab Emirates, who lived in exile in Abu Dhabi.

Dallan’s potential return can indicate a shift in the dynamics of the Palestinian leadership, but it will not solve the basic crisis of legitimacy that affects the Palestinian Authority. The re -installation of the political in the summit is not the same as systematic reform, and without a broader commitment to national unity and representative renewal, any new leadership structure risks the same inheritance the same failures that defined Abbas’s period.

The moment of opportunities

The rebuilding of Gaza represents an opportunity to lay the foundation for the renewed Palestinian national movement by breaking the suffocating Abbas on Palestinian policy and ending the process of activating it. If the Arab countries are able to move in the field of political mines in defining Netanyahu, Abbas’s self -interest, and internal Palestinian divisions, they may be able to direct Gaza towards a more stable future and independent rule.

However, if Abbas and his circle remained from the officials in control, this effort can quickly turn into another failed attempt for Palestinian reconciliation, which enhances the current situation of Israeli and Palestinian domination.

The future of Gaza is suspended in balance. This intervention can be by Arab countries a positive step towards self-determination-or may become a historical opportunity. If Abbas continues to monopolize power, if the PLO remains a hollow shell, and if Netanyahu continues his campaign to sabotage any form of Palestinian sovereignty, the Arab plan may have died upon arrival.

This moment calls for decisive measures, Palestinian political renewal, and international commitment to determining the true Palestinian destiny. Whether the plan of Arab countries can overcome structural obstacles on their way still to be seen. But if the Palestinian leadership crisis does not close the fate of Gaza, it is now time to correct the session before it is too late.
