​After a year and five months of war, the State of Israel stands at a historic crossroads and must make immediate decisions that will drastically impact the future of the entire region. On one hand, it is possible to continue with the "rounds strategy" that Israel has been conducting with the Gaza Strip since 2005—an approach that effectively leaves control of the Strip in the hands of Hamas and maintains the constant threat it poses to Israeli citizens. On the other hand, there is a one-time opportunity to take advantage of the window opened by the current U.S. administration to create a fundamental and long-term change in Gaza, removing the threat for generations.

 

Historic Opportunity  
The declarations of U.S. President Trump in recent weeks regarding comprehensive emigration from Gaza present an unprecedented opportunity and provide international legitimacy for advancing innovative solutions that fundamentally shift the balance of power in favor of Israel.

 

Desire for Emigration from Gaza  
The past year has proven beyond any doubt that there is an immense desire among the population of Gaza to emigrate from the Strip and break free from Hamas’s grip. This is evident from the number of people who left Gaza between October 2023 and the IDF's capture of the Rafah crossing in May 2024, from the overwhelming sentiment on social media, and from public opinion surveys conducted within Gaza. Furthermore, such a move would have a decisive impact on regional and global geopolitical processes and on weakening the radical Islamic axis in the Middle East.

 

Courses of Action  
Now, Israel's primary mission is to enable the departure from Gaza via maritime, land, and air routes as quickly as possible, to coordinate with the U.S. administration in establishing a framework with the receiving countries, and to prevent Hamas and other interested parties from thwarting the plan.
