Yair Lapid: How Israel can involve Palestinian Authority in post-war Gaza - opinion

To have the totally discredited PA involved is delusional as was already pointed out by Netanyahu. Or as Netanyahu put it this will not be Oslo II in reference to the utterly failed Oslo accords of 1993. 

What is the colloquial definition of insanity! See also my blog post e.g. here on this subject.

Lapid dreams/fantasizes of a "complete overhaul" of the PA!

I am afraid the transition period will be long (years if not a decade or more) to make sure Gaza becomes e.g. an oasis of peace, free markets, and prosperity like Hong Kong or Singapore or Switzerland!

Turn Gaza into a shining star in the Middle East with the help of Israel and others.

"The Israeli government’s delay in formulating its “Day After” plan isn’t due to a lack of clarity on what steps need to be taken but rather because it’s acutely aware of the required course of action. ...

The tragedy intensifies precisely because it revolves around a controversial issue: incorporating the Palestinian Authority into the civil governance of Gaza. To be clear, no organization, individual, or state is seriously suggesting handing over control of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority. Not the Americans, no Arab country, not Benny Gantz, nor I. ...
we should help establish an Arab-international coalition that will undertake the responsibility of managing the day-to-day affairs in the Gaza Strip. ...
but a precondition of countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE is that the Palestinian Authority be involved – even if just symbolically [???] – in the civil administration of Gaza. Without this, the likelihood of them investing billions of dollars in the rehabilitation of Gaza is close to nil. Practically speaking, this is a reasonable move [???]. The Palestinian Authority employs 26,000 civil servants in Gaza who are not aligned with Hamas, and so there is no reason [???] not to make use of this administrative infrastructure.
Such a move would require a comprehensive overhaul of the Palestinian Authority. This demand is commonly shared by all parties involved. ..."
