Yair Lapid suggested Egypt could govern Gaza for 8-15 years postwar, enabling the PA’s return under specific conditions, highlighting a new strategy for stability in the region.
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid proposed a plan for Egypt to take control, termed ‘guardianship’, over postwar Gaza during a recent address at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank in Washington. This arrangement is envisioned to last between eight to fifteen years, allowing for the possibility of the Palestinian Authority (PA) returning to Gaza under specific conditions as stability is established in the region.
Lapid’s proposal underscores a significant shift in handling Gaza’s future after conflict, suggesting Egyptian oversight for nearly a decade and a potential role for the PA, dependent on certain criteria. This plan aims to foster stability and security in a historically volatile area.
