But Who Will Govern Gaza?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><b>Steven Erlanger<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>As Israeli soldiers have massed to enter Gaza in force, the defense minister has promised them, \u201cYou see Gaza now from a distance; you will soon see it from inside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Yet despite this vow from the minister, Yoav Gallant, it is not clear when Israel will mount a ground invasion.<\/p>\n<p>And if the government appears hesitant to enter Gaza \u2014 more than two weeks since the Hamas attack that killed more than 1,400 Israelis \u2014 there are good reasons to be.<\/p>\n<p>What lies ahead is a kind of sustained urban warfare that the country\u2019s military forces have not encountered for nearly a decade, and in pursuit of a political end that remains unclear aside from vanquishing Hamas, which controls Gaza, so that it can never again threaten Israeli citizens.<\/p>\n<p>By itself, that is a tall order that will require the Israelis to establish control over Gaza for themselves, and one which will cost significant amounts of blood, treasure and international outrage over civilian deaths.<\/p>\n<p>And hovering over everything is the political conundrum of what happens to Gaza after the war ends. Once in, how does Israel get out? Once it has dismantled Hamas, if it can, to whom will it hand the keys? If Hamas no longer governs Gaza, who will?<\/p>\n<p>For the moment, Israeli officials say, those questions are not their immediate concern. But they will be unavoidable, even if Gaza becomes the responsibility of a new Israeli government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn truth, there are no good options for an Israeli ground offensive in Gaza,\u201d Tom Beckett, a retired lieutenant general of the British Army and executive director of the Middle East for the International Institute for Strategic Studies, wrote in a brief analysis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter how successful the operation proves in defeating Hamas as a military organization, Hamas\u2019s political imperative and the population\u2019s support for the resistance will continue,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsrael either reoccupies Gaza to control it or, by withdrawing after an offensive, cedes ground to people for whom the resistance is existence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Rear Adm.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Hagari, the Israeli Army spokesman, has said that the military \u201cis focused on the objectives of the war as defined by the political echelon: the rout of Hamas and the elimination of its leaders after the slaughter they perpetrated on Shabbat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis organization will not rule Gaza military and politically, \u201d he added. But somebody must.<\/p>\n<p>That is one weakness of the Israeli strategy, because Hamas represents a political and religious idea that cannot be dismantled, and it is an organization that has thrived on its reputation among Palestinians for embracing armed struggle and \u201cmartyrdom\u201d against Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if militarily defeated, Hamas cannot be neutralized,\u201d said Lina Khatib, director of the Middle East Institute at SOAS University of London.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat the existence or legitimacy of Hamas is linked to its military success is false. It can be militarily defeated and remain politically relevant,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can present any defense as heroic martyrdom for the sake of the liberation of the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n<p>For Lawrence Freedman, emeritus professor of war studies at King\u2019s College London, Israel\u2019s challenge is \u201cto align its military means with its political ends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d However competent a military, he said in an interview, a political goal that is too ambitious will result in frustration or failure.<\/p>\n<p>Examples abound, including American military victories in Iraq and Afghanistan in the name of broad and ambitious political goals, like democratization and gender equality, that have resulted in failure.<\/p>\n<p>Easy conquests ended in long, vicious counterinsurgency campaigns against local militias and radical Islamist fighters who knew the territory, who lived among the population and who did not obey the Geneva Convention or the rules of war.<\/p>\n<p>And the governments established by the Americans required huge and continued amounts of Western cash and military support to survive. Mr. Freedman wrote about some of his concerns in The Financial Times.<\/p>\n<p>The Israelis, he said in a subsequent interview, risk a similar fate. \u201cThey have set themselves an ambition that is extremely hard to meet, because even if they deliver Hamas a heavy blow, they can\u2019t stop its regeneration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Israel cannot occupy Gaza indefinitely and doesn\u2019t want to, he said, adding, \u201cAnd it can\u2019t push the population into Egypt, which wants nothing to do with Gaza either.<\/p>\n<p>In August 2014, after a serious Israeli-Hamas conflict, ideas were floated about what to do with Gaza, in a confidential options paper provided to The Times.<\/p>\n<p>It stated, presciently, that \u201ca return to the status quo ante will produce a new war\u201d and that the Palestinian Authority is \u201ctoo weak and divided to govern.<\/p>\n<p>The best solution, the paper suggested, was authorizing United Nations forces to control Gaza\u2019s borders while Palestinian militias are disbanded and disarmed and the Israeli and Egyptian blockade of Gaza is gradually lifted.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, the paper presumed that Hamas would still control Gaza but might agree to moderate its behavior in return. The paper also pointed out that the existing U. N. Truce Supervision Organization, founded in 1948, retains a legal mandate to patrol Gaza, even though it left in 1996 after the Oslo Accords.<\/p>\n<p>Under a reconfigured mandate, UNTSO could both patrol Gaza\u2019s borders and help disarm militias, while another existing international committee would coordinate donor aid. Nine years later, the paper may serve as a starting point.<\/p>\n<p>If Hamas and similar groups are destroyed in Gaza, as Israel vows, perhaps UNTSO could help keep the peace inside Gaza too as a kind of supplementary police force while the status and credibility of the Palestinian Authority are somehow resurrected there.<\/p>\n<p>The 2014 discussion was real, said Robert Serry, a Dutch diplomat who served as the U. N. Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process. \u201cWe had hoped that the Palestinian Authority could be brought back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>While that may be as unrealistic now as then, each time \u201cwe allowed the situation to go back to the status quo,\u201d with a fragile cease-fire and \u201cminimum arrangements to keep Gaza afloat,\u201d Mr.<\/p>\n<p>Serry said. Now, he said: \u201cI hope Israel learns a lesson. If they keep ignoring the Palestinian question, it will from time to time explode, it\u2019s just a question of when.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Israel tried to rid itself of responsibility for Gaza once before and failed. Its political answer to who would run Gaza proved faulty, and it essentially tossed the keys to Gaza into the street.<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, when Israel withdrew all its troops and citizens from Gaza, it handed over power there to the Palestinian Authority of Mahmoud Abbas, dominated by Fatah.<\/p>\n<p>But Fatah lost a legislative election the next year to Hamas, and in 2007, when Fatah broke an agreement with Hamas, Hamas seized power in Gaza in a short and brutal civil war, dividing the Palestinians not only territorially, but politically.<\/p>\n<p>In the current conflict, Israel will need to control what\u2019s left of Gaza and garrison Israeli forces there until a political solution of some kind allows them to leave, which will stretch the army, especially if Hezbollah opens a second front from southern Lebanon or if there is a surge of violence in the occupied West Bank between Israeli settlers and Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if Gaza\u2019s urban centers are smashed and the ground operations lead to the displacement of large parts of the population, it will be easier for the Israeli military to control Gaza without fully occupying it, said Ms.<\/p>\n<p>Khatib of SOAS. \u201cIt\u2019s a tactic of war used by other regimes in the Mideast,\u201d she said, citing President Bashar al-Assad of Syria and his scorched-earth tactics against his opponents there.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Beckett agreed. \u201cBrutality can reduce the numbers required for a counterinsurgency,\u201d he wrote, citing the crushing of resistance in 1982 at Hama by the former Syrian president, Hafez al-Assad. His son, \u201cBashar Assad, supported by Russia, has applied indiscriminate brutality throughout the Syrian civil war,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>While the world is appalled by the Hamas killings and will likely give Israel more time than in the past to defeat Hamas, there are already calls for Israel to obey the Geneva Convention and the rules of war, including from President Biden and Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken.<\/p>\n<p>The inevitable deaths and wounding of civilians will, as it has always done, eventually bring significant pressure on Israel to negotiate a cease-fire, pressure, especially from Washington, that could become too much to bear before Israel has accomplished its stated military goal.<\/p>\n<p>Israel is already trying to prepare its supporters around the world, and especially in the United States, to resist that kind of pressure to stop its operation before Hamas is dismantled. Lt. Col.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Conricus, a spokesman for the Israeli military, recently urged the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel lobbying group based in Washington, to stick with Israel regardless of criticism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven when the going gets ugly and the scenes out of Gaza will be hard to stomach \u2014 not as hard as the things that were coming out of Kibbutz Be\u2019eri and Kfar Aza, but they will be hard to stomach \u2014 then we will need the support of anybody who loves freedom and wants to stand up for what\u2019s right,\u201d Colonel Conricus said in a webcast, referring to two of the Israeli villages where Hamas killed civilians.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, he said, after \u201ca small window of international legitimacy and support,\u201d public opinion shifts \u201cand Israel is forced by powerful countries around the world to limit its movement. We have seen that and that is unfortunately what we\u2019ve faced in the past. This time,\u201d he said, \u201cmust be different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: Nytimes<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steven Erlanger Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
