In anticipation of the post-war scenarios in Gaza, PA President Mahmoud Abbas has, for the first time, taken steps toward reconciling with his long-time political rivals to unify the fragmented Fatah movement.

The dismissed Fatah leader and UAE-aligned figure, Mohammed Dahlan, has become a prominent name in the media, often cited as the leading candidate to take control of "Post-war Gaza."

The debate over “post-war” Gaza and the "to-be-in-charge parties" has led to the emergence of contention within “Israel” — “Hamas is an idea; anyone who thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong," the Israeli Military spokesman criticized.
