WASHINGTON – On Saturday, the
White House
informed Israel that Arab countries are crafting a plan for the “day after” the
war on the Gaza Strip, which includes a provision for integrating Hamas into
the
Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO).

Citing an unnamed source, the
Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA) reported that the US is engaged in discussions
with unnamed Arab countries regarding the post-war scenario, as per Quds Press
and Nabd.
During his recent visit to Israel, US
President
Joe Biden’s special envoy, Brett McGurk, urged Netanyahu to engage in
ministerial discussions regarding the “day after” the war. The American envoy
warned that if Israel does not make decisions, the Arab countries and the US
will proceed with the issue without Israel’s involvement.
Paris negotiations
On
Friday, several countries participated in Paris negotiations for the exchange
of captives and prisoners between Hamas and Israel. Talks have centered around
easing Hamas’s demands on one side and Israel’s conditions on the other, which
have hindered reaching an agreement so far.
The
Paris conference included the presence of Mossad Director David Barnea, CIA
Director William Burns,
Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh
Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, and Egyptian Intelligence Chief Abbas Kamel.
In
November 2023, Qatari and Egyptian mediation successfully brokered a week-long
ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, during which there was a cessation of
hostilities, prisoner exchanges, and extremely
limited humanitarian aid delivered to Gaza.
The Israeli war on Gaza is approaching its fifth
month, and there seems to be no imminent relief for the isolated Palestinian
civilians in the Strip. For 141 days, they have endured terrifying random
bombardments and the siege imposed by Netanyahu’s government. Over half of the
affected population are children. The destruction of most hospitals and medical
centers exacerbates the situation, along with restricted access to medicines in
the besieged region.
