Can the self-governing organization take the place of Hamas in Gaza?

According to the political reporter of Tasnim news agency, Joe Biden recently in A note he published in the Washington Post called for the reunification of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank under the supervision of the Palestinian Authority. European Union foreign policy official Joseph Borrell also said yesterday at the “Security Dialogue” meeting in Manama, the capital of Bahrain: “Hamas can no longer control Gaza… I have only one option, and that is the self-governing organization that can do this.” !»

finalize Palestine and Israel to achieve the idea of ​​two states; After Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005 and Hamas took over this strip in 2007, the self-governing organization was limited to the West Bank of the Jordan River and is responsible for the administration of Palestinian villages and camps there. The PA was established for a five-year period, and with the agreement expiring in 1999, the final status of the PA is still unclear.

Although Netanyahu has said that the PA The Palestinian Authority will not take over the administration of the Gaza Strip in the post-war phase, but on the assumption that the Zionist regime can consolidate its rule over Gaza and, by destroying and weakening the infrastructure of Hamas, wants to hand over the administration there to the Palestinian Authority and Mahmoud Abbas. Is such a thing possible?

To answer this question, one should look at the state of self-governing organizations in recent years; Three decades after the establishment of the self-governing organizations and the deadlock of the failed Oslo negotiations and political initiatives, the Israeli-Palestinian political process has reached a deadlock. This impasse has caused the gap between the Palestine Liberation Organization and movements such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad to increase; The self-governing organization, which is responsible for managing the daily lives of Palestinians in the West Bank, is losing its power and legitimacy day by day, while the idea of ​​determining the fate of the Palestinians by the Palestinian people and Jihad has been growing.

The increase in West Bank operations against the Zionists and the increase in the power of resistance groups in Gaza indicated the presence of young people who lost faith in Mahmoud Abbas and, while rejecting the existing order, sought change through resistance. are armed within the framework of local organizations; These local groups are not necessarily related to big and well-known organizations, but they have their spiritual support and support; Even according to a survey by the Palestinian Center for Political Research, 70% of the Palestinian people are against the two-state solution and 71% do not believe in its implementation.

In these years, the self-governing organization, and of course its humiliation by the Zionist regime, has shown that it has a limited ability to prevent the escalation of tensions, but assuming that the organization wants to rule Gaza as well, will it be able to do so with this weakness and weakness? Will Israel have a plan to strengthen it?

Some security and political ranks in Israel believe that they need a strong and efficient self-governing organization that can effectively govern and meet the needs of local people and increase security cooperation and pursue a political solution; The Israeli newspaper “Yediot Aharanot” wrote some time ago that Yoav Galant, the Minister of War of the Israeli regime, presented proposals to grant facilities to the Palestinian Authority in a cabinet meeting, some of which include the creation of a new industrial zone, tax deductions, Restoring VIP permits to senior leaders of the self-governing organizations, extending working hours at al-Nabi crossing.

But on the other hand, what has been seen in these years, the right-wing government of Netanyahu seeks to deepen its dominance. Israel is in the West Bank and changing the status of Jerusalem; The expansion of Jewish settlements and the narrowing of the West Bank make the process of political agreements more challenging, which itself leads to the weakening of the self-governing organization.

On the other hand, the reason for the failure to strengthen the self-governing organizations is the difference in the views of the Israeli and Palestinian authorities on this category; The Zionists emphasize the functional scope of the organization and its adherence to the political process based on direct negotiations and security cooperation with this regime, but the Palestinian leaders want to increase their political and civil control while maintaining the existing structure and influencing the international scene, which these two views are largely in line with. There is also a contradiction.

In these years, Hamas has been strengthening its military capabilities day by day, consolidating its influence on the West Bank and taking advantage of the events of Al-Aqsa Mosque It was to stimulate the Palestinian youth to intensify resistance and operations in the occupied territories.

After the Al-Aqsa storm operation and the heavy defeat of the Zionist regime, the occupying army decided to enter Gaza by land to destroy the infrastructure of Hamas and despite leaving a lot of ruins and displaced people More than one and a half million people and the martyrdom of 12,000 people have not succeeded in destroying the infrastructure of Hamas, but assuming that it can strike a blow to the infrastructure of Hamas and the resistance groups lose their control over Gaza, will the self-governing organization be able to dominate? over Gaza and will this result in strengthening Israel’s deterrence in the region?

Firstly, the current situation of the self-governing organizations is so unstable and problematic that it is possible to correct it. It is doubtful in the current situation; Secondly, in the current political situation and internal conflicts in Israel, it is unlikely that the Zionist regime will reach an internal agreement on the need to strengthen the self-governing organization or at least stop trying to weaken it, so we cannot expect to make a concrete decision in this regard. /p>

On the other hand, there are serious questions; How to use force to restore the full control of self-governing organizations over the Gaza Strip? And assuming that the efforts to strengthen the self-governing organization succeed, won’t the people who consider this group as Israel’s accomplices take action against it?

Of course, all this in It is a condition that Israel succeeds in achieving its goals, which is the destruction of Hamas, which after forty-five days of the Al-Aqsa storm and three weeks of ground operations in Gaza, it has not yet achieved this goal, and the situation of the hostages is still unclear, and the occupied Palestinian cities are witnesses. Every day demonstrations are held by the families of the hostages. It should also be kept in mind that Israel is currently involved in several fronts and the deterrence of this regime is under attack; Hezbollah is fighting in the northern borders, resistance groups in Syria and Iraq have targeted American bases, various areas of the West Bank witness clashes between youths and Zionist soldiers every day, Yemen’s Ansarullah also warned Israeli ships and seized a ship and launched missiles at The south of the occupied territories has entered into a war with Israel, and the conditions in which this regime has been placed may have been unprecedented during the 75 years of its establishment, to the extent that, according to the Zionist regime officials, they have no prospects for their future in Gaza.
