Merged Gaza just launched an unprovoked attack on Israel

[Tigers!]

How will you separate the Gazan sheep from the extremists goats? Who are those very brave Gazans who will stand up and become part of the next governing body without them or their families being assissinated?

Israel might start by supporting the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in regaining control of Gaza. While the PLO was once as militant as Hamas, it has since shifted toward a more diplomatic approach. Additionally, Israel shares some responsibility for Hamas's rise to power, having initially supported its early development as a counterbalance to the PLO.

In hindsight Isreali support for Hamas was wrong but PA vs. Hamas and no crystal ball. I do not blame the Israelis for chosing the devil they did not know vs. the devil they did.

However, as others have noted, the Palestinian population presents a broader challenge. A significant segment still refuses to accept Israel's right to exist and will continue to oppose the PLO, especially in the wake of Israel’s invasion prompted by Hamas's actions. The overall dynamics are unlikely to shift dramatically, as this would essentially revert Gaza to pre-Hamas conditions, now compounded by increased governance challenges, economic stagnation, and mistrust between Israelis, Palestinians, and Palestinians & the PLO.

But realistically, what other options are there? Staying in Gaza isn’t viable, the international community wouldn’t tolerate it, and it would only deepen hatred and distrust among Palestinians. Moving or killing the population is, of course, way out of the question.

Those aren’t just suggestions—they’re the reality.

Indeed they are and none are good. The best of a very poor bunch mst be chosen.

In my opinion, Israel could collaborate with the PLO to help them regain the trust of Palestinians by supporting their humanitarian efforts. Another good starting point might be agreeing to end and dismantle Jewish settlements while completely lifting restrictions on fishing.

I was not aware of any Jewish settlements in Gaza? I thought they were all gone.
Concerning the West Bank - no new Jewish settlements and no expansion of existing ones. At least for the forseeable future.

However, when it comes to other matters, such as control over imports, airspace, and borders, Israel has little incentive to relinquish control, as Gaza will continue to pose a security threat due to the ideology that frames the liberation of Palestine from Israeli control as a religious duty.

Until a non-miltant Islamic authority exists in Gaza Israel cannot afford to relax the pressure.

There needs to be ways to begin an economy not as dependent upon foreign aid as it is and somehow get it beyond the graps of miltants. the education system is Gaza needs to be redone. Teaching the childrem to hate and kill is not ever a viable educational aim.
Somehow a way to allow Gazan industry to florish and export via sea and land without comprising Israeli saftey and security must be found.
