Beyond Israel and Hamas: Egypt’s Growing Influence in Gaza’s Future

Egypt is emerging as a central figure in the Gaza peace process, capitalizing on the framework proposed by the United States. The U.S. plan, which follows a 20-point outline, details the post-war scenario, including a team to determine the structure of the Palestinian Development Authority. Notably, Egypt is slated to take charge of military operations and administration in Gaza, deploying trained personnel to ensure law and order. Initially, Egypt plans to train approximately 3,000 personnel. This move follows negotiations between Arab nations and the United States regarding Gaza’s development, with Egypt being selected to manage key aspects of the region’s future.
