Episode notes
International Force As Core Of The Plan
- President Trump's 20-point Gaza plan seeks a multi-year international stabilization force to govern and disarm Hamas in Gaza.
- Eylon Levy argues the UN mandate must give that force real authority to remove Hamas' weapons whether Hamas agrees or not.
Hamas Likely To Keep Its Guns
- Hamas remains committed to armed struggle and is unlikely to voluntarily disarm or become a civilian governing body.
- Levy warns the group aims to stay the dominant armed militia while outsourcing mundane governance responsibilities.
Pressure Sponsors To Force Disarmament
- Pressure state sponsors like Qatar, Turkey, and Iran to force Hamas to disarm and stop enabling its operations.
- If the international community won't disarm Hamas, Levy says Israel will continue fighting until Hamas is neutralized.
