Cairo seeks stability and reconstruction framework while Hamas disrupts post-war governance consensus.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry has outlined its post-ceasefire vision for the Gaza Strip, proposing a combined international military deployment and transitional civilian administration to prevent chaos once fighting subsides.
According to Cairo’s proposal, an international force operating under a United Nations mandate would supervise the ceasefire and guarantee long-term stability, enabling reconstruction and humanitarian recovery. Egypt is coordinating the initiative with Turkey and the United States, signaling broad diplomatic alignment.
On governance, Cairo supports a transitional committee meant to restore basic services until the Palestinian Authority — led by Mahmoud Abbas — can reassume control. Egypt also insists that reopening the Rafah crossing is a humanitarian duty, rejecting outside pressure over its management.
However, Hamas has sharply criticized reforms within Palestinian institutions, accusing Ramallah of unilateral action. The dispute highlights deep internal divisions that risk obstructing a responsible transition framework.
While Israel seeks security guarantees and structured governance to prevent renewed terror entrenchment, political fragmentation among Palestinian factions threatens postwar stability. Egypt’s plan reflects regional acknowledgment that without disciplined oversight and accountable leadership, Gaza could once again fall into instability.
