Peloni: This is a must read article. Saudi Arabia is renewing its engagement on Gaza by proposing that it be allowed to supervise reforms within the Palestinian Authority (PA) as a step toward future governance of the Strip. Offering its support to ensure anti-corruption measures, administrative restructuring, de-radicalization, while also ending terrorist stipends, required benchmarks demanded by Israel, the US, and Gulf states, the Saudis are calling for the release of withheld tax revenues and offer to include Saudi financial incentives. While the Saudis argue that this is intended to end the Gaza war and advance the Trump plan and Abraham Accords, Israel remains opposed to premature PA entry into Gaza, while the UAE doubts reform credibility. Hence, once again, we stand at the brink of offering terrorists cash to behave rather than finding some alternative to the American equity of the terrorist PA, which has a history of absorbing cash like a financial black hole while ignoring the demands which are associated with payments. Radicals have no end of appetite for cash, no limit of pretense in roleplaying hudna’s and no possibility of being deradicalized following a life built upon the structural application of radicalization. While the PA celebrated October 7 longer than did their cousins in Gaza, we are to trust that they will not only be reformed, but that they will be reformed while being granted access to authority in Gaza for which they should NEVER have any access ever. This is pure madness…and we can expect that Washington is going to put the full weight of its inscrutable support behind it.
After months of signaling disengagement, Riyadh has presented Washington with a plan to oversee comprehensive reforms within the Palestinian Authority – a move designed to pave the way for Ramallah’s return to power in Gaza.
