"Arming Palestinian Clans: A Controversial Solution for Gaza's Post-War Security"
The IDF is exploring the potential for Palestinian clans to control civilian affairs in areas of Gaza where Hamas is weakened, as Israel prefers not to have the Palestinian Authority take over these areas. While clans may provide a temporary solution, their long-term viability is uncertain, as seen in Iraq's experience with tribes and clans. The PA is also wary of this development, and tensions over Gaza could lead to regional conflict. Egypt's positive relationship with tribes in the Sinai Peninsula may offer insights for potential talks with Gaza clans.
