Turkey Suggests Gaza Gets Civil Admin Before Hamas Disarms – Shocker!
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told Reuters that expecting Hamas to disarm without a credible Palestinian civil administration and trained police force in place is neither "realistic nor doable." This stunning insight dares to suggest that a power vacuum, created after decades of occupation and siege, might not be the most stable post-conflict strategy. One might recall similar 'disarmament
first' demands made on Palestinians after the Oslo Accords, which conveniently sidelined Palestinian state-building in favor of perpetual security concerns, creating the perfect conditions for resistance groups to flourish. The media frames this as a Turkey-centric proposal, ignoring that the idea of a self-governing Palestinian entity has been, theoretically, a global aspiration for decades. When
the US insists on "security first" for its regional allies, it perpetually ensures that the security of Palestinians is an afterthought, if at all. How many times must the international community pretend to be shocked when a population under siege refuses to unilaterally disarm into an administrative void overseen by an occupying power? The irony drips like oil, heavy and obvious, yet somehow
continuously missed by the same pundits who demand 'realism' from the occupied.
