Truth. Any future plan for the Gaza Strip will be in the interests of both parties. Trump-Netanyahu: Each side has its own temporal, political, and economic goals, and what may seem like a superficial agreement or calm that hides larger calculations.
Trump Goals — Moving to a new phase from an American/administrative perspective, there is a desire to close the Gaza file to give way to a new phase of «Clear.» Cities and reconstruction, with the injection of hundreds of billions to start rubble clean-up projects and launch reconstruction projects with a global investment flavor — What can be called «Rivera Middle East," as Trump put it. These projects will attract multinational companies and international capital, including Jewish, Israeli, American, Arab and Palestinian capital, and perhaps major investors from the kings and princes of the Gulf and certainly Elon Musk, the owner of half a billion of them ...
In return, Netanyahu’s goals will be to complete the military operation that Israel, led by Netanyahu, is seeking to complete what it has repeatedly described as a security and political mission.
Presence Israel in Gaza may be temporary, but Israel will not occupy Gaza until an arrangement is made. «Clear.» The most urgent step for Israel is to ensure tangible military and political results.
If the agreement is implemented as agreed, without any faction provoking the other, Israel may continue its military mission intermittently: targeting certain population sites to force civilians out or to destroy facilities in line with previously prepared reconstruction plans. These operations may be justified by Israel as steps to ensure its security, but in effect they are in favor of future investment projects and demographic remodeling.
It is likely That the targeting of Hamas leaders and Palestinian factions, both inside and outside Gaza, may be continuous and intermittent at the same time, as part of a policy aimed at revenge and ending the leadership structures and weakening the capabilities of these organizations to return again and fold their page forever.
The relationship with Qatar and the regional role
I don’t think Israel will strike Hamas leaders in Qatar again, but diplomatic and political pressure will be applied to make Qatar stop embracing Hamas leaders and force them to leave Doha and the Middle East, and will liquidate them at any opportunity Israel will have to target these leaders outside Qatari territory.
The next one in Gaza may be accompanied by a relative media silence: the dimming of the media spotlight and the decline in the volume of international political statements. This media blackout paves the way for redrawing the narrative around Gaza and managing it to serve the interests of reconstruction leaders and concerned countries.
Conclusion Any settlement or agreement would not be merely a temporary humanitarian clause, but would be driven by the strategic, economic, and political interests of both the United States and Israel, with attempts by resistance factions to disrupt or alter implementation paths. Reconstruction, the displacement or evacuation of the population, the liquidation of leaders, and media silence all contribute to the implementation of the plans of Trump Netanyahu.
