PDB Situation Report | December 21st, 2024: Ceasefire Looms in Israel & Ukraine’s Key Moments in 2024

You're not going to hear the Arab world say that it's a great thing, but I think it's the reality. I agree with you 100%.

One is it can't be Hamas. And there's talk right now of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority having some kind of technocratic leadership solution where they would together try to govern Gaza. I don't see the Israelis agreeing to it. They don't want to let Hamas in or let Hamas back in any demonstrable way. And they don't like the PA. I mean, the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank is corrupt.

You got a guy who's in his 80s, who's been in power since 2005. It's a disaster over there too. So I think what the Israelis are looking for right now is truly new leadership, clean leadership, You know, a leader or a group of people that are, I think, interested in trying to build Gaza into something sustainable. Now, there are people who are talking about turning it into Singapore.

Let's be honest. Gaza is not Singapore. I mean, you could turn it into something viable, but I don't think we should exaggerate here. But I think really what we're looking for right now is leadership that's going to be endorsed by some of those pragmatic states in the Gulf.
