Gaza oscillates between projects to abduct and separate it from the West Bank, and attempts to remain part of the occupied territory. All eyes are on the administrative body formed to follow the peace council headed by Trump, and it is no longer a secret that Trump and Netanyahu are working to neutralize the role of the Palestinian Authority, and that they have decided to separate the Strip from the West Bank, and that Palestinian representation should be minimal, fragmented and faint, under the orders and instructions of what has become known as the Peace Council, and that this new body should not follow the institutions of the PLO or the Palestinian Authority, which are internationally recognized as representatives of the Palestinian people. This is not a recent paradox; rather, the constant endeavors of the occupation have been and still are to eliminate the unified representation of the Palestinian people, and throughout all decades, it has pushed for division at times, and for the formation of bodies, committees, and village leagues to serve as alternatives. Throughout those decades, the occupation continued to fail, and the PLO remained the representative of all Palestinians, both inside and outside, enjoying popular support and international recognition. For Palestinians, it is the spiritual home of all Palestinians, for which there is no alternative.
It is true that the enormous scale of destruction left by the war of extermination requires significant international intervention to rebuild the Strip, as the horrors of the war of extermination are terrible and the devastation it caused is immense, necessitating effective international intervention, but not in Trump's way, who seeks to possess Gaza and turn it into a treasury of his companies' assets and properties as one of his countless real estate holdings, and the ridiculous promotion we saw at the Davos conference of scenarios prepared for construction and investment operations with giant skyscrapers, resorts, and so on.
Gaza is not for sale and will not accept anyone owning it, so say the numbers registered at the Rafah crossing for return immediately upon its opening, a return that is not symbolic at all, but actual and practical, as large numbers of people wish to return to Gaza despite all the destruction and ruin, and a large part of them know that they are returning to no standing home, but rather the remnants of their home that was destroyed by bombing.
Trump's plans and projects to seize Gaza will fail due to the presence of Gazans connected to their land, just as they will reject all projects of dependency and mandate, for the right of Palestinians to live in freedom and independence is a sacred right that no one will relinquish.
This does not mean rejecting the administrative committee in what it represents, as it includes influential and national figures and highly competent Palestinian experts, but it means paying attention to its role if it is linked to a political role far from the Palestinian Liberation Organization, in addition to the role assigned to it in terms of the reconstruction process after the war of extermination.
