Episode notes
Hostage Release Shifted Momentum
- The hardest hurdle was securing the release of living hostages and that has given real momentum to the deal.
- Detailed ceasefire arrangements remain fragile, especially around disarmament and fighters' futures.
Reconstruction Will Be Long And Costly
- Rebuilding Gaza will be a massive, decade-long task comparable to postwar reconstruction.
- Saudi cash and Gulf-state funding are likely essential, but immediate relief will look like large-scale temporary camps and prefab solutions.
Use Regional Forces And Gulf Funding
- Deploy regional armed forces (Egypt, Saudi, Jordan) to provide security on Gaza's streets alongside technocratic administration.
- Couple security with generous Gulf-state funding to stabilize and enable reconstruction.
