A prolonged Israeli occupation of Gaza is undesirable and will impose costs on Israel of blood, treasure and reputation. A future role for Hamas, an organization that thrives on violence, is unacceptable. The Palestinian Authority currently lacks the capacity and legitimacy to govern Gaza. The trusteeship mechanism is a rare example of an international arrangement that has unambiguously fulfilled its mandate in the past. It has successfully overseen 11 Trust territories, facilitating decolonization in Africa and the Pacific and often resulting in independence within 10 to 15 years. With Palestine, this could happen sooner.
Crucially, a UN trusteeship would present a clear path to a two-state solution. It would also enable the long-rumoured regional deal built around Israeli-Saudi diplomatic normalization.
