Sinai Option
In order to solve the humanitarian crisis of the Gazans immediately, to rebuild the destroyed Palestinian territory in the medium term and to implement the Two-State solution in the long term, there is a pragmatic and feasible plan in which the primary winners would be the Gazans and Israel, the secondary beneficiaries would be Egypt and the Palestinians, and thirdly the USA and the broad international community.
The solution described above is based on Sinai Option presented in previous years to expand the Gaza Strip to multiple times its current size, to build apartments, a community structure and a viable economy in this area for Gazans and other willing Palestinians, and in the long term to form the area into either an independent demilitarised autonomy belonging to Egypt or a Palestinian state together with the Palestinians of the West Bank.
In my opinion, the only practical and quick solution is to build a temporary Gaza settlement on the Egyptian-Gaza border, whereby Gazans who have moved to safe areas in southern Gaza would only need to move 1-10 kilometers southwest of their current locations.
Rebuilding Gaza in the traditional way compared to the Sinai Option would take significantly more time and resources, and even so, the reconstructed area would not be nearly as viable as a larger virgin area.
Gaza has been rebuilt again and again after previous conflicts, but Hamas has always taken some of the funds intended for reconstruction for its own use, including building the Gaza Metro, missile and weapons production, and the luxury lifestyle of its elite. If Turkish and Egyptian construction companies are now responsible for the construction work instead of Hamas, under the strict supervision of the international community, previous mistakes can be minimized.
