Hamas will not disarm voluntarily—but Gaza’s future does not have to remain under its control.
Middle East Forum Chief Strategist Jim Hanson joins Fox Business to explain how Gaza’s tribes and local groups opposed to Hamas could provide an alternative. By directing aid, reconstruction, employment, and security toward Hamas-free communities, regional partners could gradually undermine the terrorist organization’s economic power and monopoly on force.
Hanson discusses the potential roles of non-Hamas Palestinian police, Gulf states, and localized security zones in creating the conditions for stability, reconstruction, and eventual prosperity in Gaza.
