The next day: Where is Gaza going?

After years of ongoing conflict and increasing tensions, it seems that the world is beginning to look at a new reality in Gaza. Considering geopolitical changes and regional challenges, this shift in international positions comes as part of a broader strategy to achieve stability in the Middle East. This article discusses the current situation, the fait accompli, and the conditions that may lead to the international community’s acceptance of Hamas’ management of Gaza.

One of the main reasons for this shift is the geopolitical shifts in the region. After the wave of normalisation between Israel and several Arab countries, pressure has increased on the parties concerned to find a long-term solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. American and European strategies have also begun to take a more pragmatic turn, focusing on regional stability and fighting terrorism.

In order for international countries to accept Hamas’ administration of Gaza, there are several conditions and standards that must be achieved: International recognition: Hamas must seek international recognition through its commitment to international agreements and covenants related to human rights. And cooperation with the United Nations and international organisations in reconstruction and development efforts.

Commitment to peace, declaring a ceasefire and committing not to launch any attacks against Israel. Accepting international peace initiatives and working to support the two-state solution. Also, implementing development projects in cooperation with international bodies to strengthen the local economy and improve the living conditions of the residents of Gaza.

Ensure respect for human rights and civil liberties in Gaza, including freedom of expression and the rights of women and minorities. And cooperate with international human rights organisations to ensure monitoring and improving the human rights situation in the sector.

It is also possible to build positive relations with neighboring countries and participate in regional initiatives to enhance stability and security. And coordination with Egypt and Jordan to achieve security on the borders and ensure safe passage of goods and people.

Despite the conditions mentioned, there are many challenges facing accepting Hamas as the administration of Gaza, and the movement may face difficulty in being accepted by some countries. The balance between its commitment to resistance and its international obligations may be complex.

But on the other hand, there are great opportunities that can be exploited, and by showing real intentions towards peace and development, Hamas can gain the trust of the international community and achieve tangible results on the ground. International support can also contribute to the reconstruction of Gaza and improve the economic and social conditions of the population.

Arab and Islamic countries can also play a pivotal role in this context. These countries can act as mediators between Hamas and the international community, providing technical and financial support to advance development and reform efforts in Gaza. These countries can also be part of reconstruction efforts and provide humanitarian support to the population.

Hamas' survival in Gaza's administration remains a complex issue that requires a careful balance between international conditions and the reality on the ground. By adhering to the above conditions, Hamas can transform from a resistance movement into an actor and political party in achieving stability and development in the region. The international community's acceptance of Hamas' management of Gaza could be an important step towards achieving sustainable peace in the Middle East and improving the lives of millions of Palestinians living in the Strip.

The transformation of Hamas into a political party represents an important step towards its integration into the international community. By engaging in the political process and adhering to democratic norms, Hamas can enhance its international credibility and open new channels of cooperation with countries and global institutions.

Becoming a political party also means moving away from military activities and committing to dialogue and negotiation as a means of resolving conflicts. This step will contribute to achieving stability in Gaza and promoting economic and social development, which will facilitate acceptance by the international community as a partner in building a better future for the Palestinians.

Finally: Hamas’s adoption of the two-state solution is considered a pivotal part in the process of its transformation into an internationally recognised political party. The two-state solution is based on the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, which is an internationally recognised framework for achieving peace in the region. By accepting this solution and working to implement it, Hamas can demonstrate its serious commitment to peace and stability in the region.

Hamas' transformation into a political party and its commitment to a two-state solution could be a turning point in the history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. This step may open the door to achieving peace and stability in the region, promoting development and well-being for the people of Gaza, and building a better future for all Palestinians.
