Khaberni - A new Palestinian security force will be established, including 5000 police officers within 60 days under the supervision of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza and trained in Egypt, as part of a plan to organize the situation in the sector.
According to the Israeli intelligence site Walla, an international stabilization force will also be deployed in the Gaza Strip in five sectors, eventually reaching around 20,000 soldiers, alongside a civilian police force totaling 12,000 members.
According to the plan, all weapons in Gaza will be placed under a new civil authority, as part of a complete disarmament process of the sector as a condition for reconstruction.
In other words, the Hebrew report adds, the force's mission was not military but civil, and it was planned to operate under the umbrella of a broad international force and under the supervision of the High Commissioner, which is completely different from the Oslo Accord.
However, the event itself did not provide technical details about the types of weapons that the Palestinian police would carry, their scope, or the mechanism of their delivery. It also did not specify who would actually approve the transfer of weapons, or how oversight would be implemented on the ground.
From an Israeli perspective, this means that the American model does not suggest an "independent armed police force," but a combination of Palestinian police, an international force, and a series of external supervision.
The differences from the Oslo Accords are significant and cannot be ignored: At that time, there was no significant international stabilization force, no representative office (or High Commissioner) with supervisory powers, and complete disarmament was not a precondition for reconstruction.
Nevertheless, the point of similarity is clear: an armed Palestinian force is being created again, with external training, a promise of supervision, and a goal of achieving stability. For many Israelis, especially those on the right, the mere return to the model of "armed Palestinian police" is uncomfortable, even if the structure this time is more complex and cautious, according to the report.
On the other hand, the Palestinian Authority appears in the organizational structure as part of the coordination system, along with Israel, the Israeli army, and the committee in Gaza. In other words: "Ramallah is not the host state, but it is not out of the game either".
From the Israeli point of view, this is a gray area. It's not an official return of the Authority, but it's also not a complete break with it.
In Washington, they talk about a decade of stability. In Tel Aviv, they remember that the Middle East does not always operate according to presentations.
