The Ramallah-based PA lacks the capability and legitimacy to shepherd Gaza toward a post-Hamas future. But a UAE-led force, backed by the U.S. and Arab states, could do it.
"If successful, the Gaza experiment can be replicated in the West Bank and the two Palestinian territories can be connected when Israel sees that Palestinians have ceased to pose any security threat against its citizens or interests." The Palestinians will never cease to pose a security threat ever. The recent polls show that 80% support Hamas. They need to be resettled elsewhere and Israel needs to annex Judea and Samaria and Gaza once and for all-From the river to the sea.
This writer is more expert than I, but it seems to me that Arab countries do not want to be responsible for actually having to administer anything in Arab Palestine. It only has downsides for them and they like it better opining from the sidelines and hoping others will do the hard work for them.
What role does consanguinity play in the overall shape and behavior of societies? For example, research shows that much of the ME and parts of Africa are 50% and more consanguineous (marriage & children), many of whom would have eschewed such arrangements had they known the outcomes for their children. We know the myriad of negative results: Health, behavior, etc. These things weight down these societies so much yet it's not being talked about.
I would love to hear Hussein comment on Matthew Yglesias’ recent piece on the two state solution.

I would like to see you advising heads of state.
