The Israeli prime minister presented a post-war strategy for the Gaza Strip and shared it with the country’s military-political cabinet, according to a report from a government advisor who circulated a related document via a messaging channel. The advisor noted that the attached document had been distributed to all cabinet members to anchor discussions before any formal deliberation on the plan proceeds. The core document outlines a path forward and serves as the baseline for ongoing discussions among senior officials.
According to the plan, Israel signals its intent to sustain military operations until its stated objectives are achieved. Specifically, the aim includes recovering hostages held by Hamas and degrading the Palestinian group’s power infrastructure to limit operational capabilities in the region. This approach reinforces a commitment to action until concrete outcomes are realized.
Looking ahead, the defense forces are expected to retain substantial operational latitude in the Gaza Strip. The strategy also contemplates establishing a secure buffer near the Gaza border, intended to reduce cross-border threats and stabilize the surrounding area during the transition period.

One key element involves proposing a barrier along the Gaza–Egypt frontier to curb smuggling into the Palestinian territory. The outlined framework envisions complete demilitarization of the designated area while preserving essential security capabilities to maintain public order. (Citation: Associated Press)
The document also backs transferring governance in the Gaza Strip to locally experienced authorities. A critical condition is that future regional leaders be free from affiliations with groups that support terrorism against Israel, aiming to ensure a stable political transition and sustainable governance.

Reconstruction would follow demilitarization and a deradicalization process. The plan suggests that rebuilding efforts would be funded and overseen by states deemed acceptable to Israel, with a clear leadership role assigned to those international actors. These provisions outline a staged plan for rebuilding once security and governance milestones are satisfied. (Citation: Reuters)
