Israel is pushing back against aspects of Donald Trump's Gaza stabilization plan, particularly the proposed involvement of Qatar and Turkey in post-conflict Gaza. Israeli officials argue that these countries have a history of antagonism toward Israel and that their participation could empower Hamas rather than foster peace. Instead, Israel is strengthening ties with Greece and Cyprus, both in defense and energy cooperation, and is supporting local Gaza clans opposed to Hamas as potential partners for maintaining order and rebuilding the region. The long-term vision is for these local groups to eventually form the basis of a new, independent Gaza government, with no role for outside actors like Turkey, Qatar, or the current Palestinian leadership in Ramallah unless significant changes are made.
