How Israel Can Ensure Security in Post-War Gaza
(JNS) Israel Kasnett - As Israeli forces advance systematically in Gaza in response to Hamas' Oct. 7 massacre and years of rocket fire on Israel's civilian population, discussions have begun regarding the future governance of Gaza. Dr. Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, told JNS that Israel and Egypt "will need to share national security responsibilities, each on its side of the border." Israel, "like in areas A and B of the areas under nominal PA control in Judea and Samaria, will always maintain the right to pursue terrorists" in post-war Gaza. "It remains unclear who and how internal policing will be handled in Gaza, but it is reasonable to assess that local police forces will secure their local districts. What is an essential precondition to future security for both Gazans and Israel is that the IDF destroys Hamas militarily and politically with an overwhelming victory. The Arab world as well as the Iranian regime and its terror proxies are watching carefully."
