Essentially, the creation of Gaza as the rump of the former British mandate over Palestine. It was the British that terrorists like Menachem Begin fought against. Except, this time, instead of the British, it will be the US the terrorists will target.
Not really. Unlike the Mandate era, you will have a governing body that has the participation of many of the other states in the region. There are no details yet, but it is likely that Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar will get the lion's share of local control.
Per the plan, there will be a "Board of Peace" that's the civilian governing body, and there will be a multinational force that will be in charge of security. Those two bodies will have the U.S. involved, but won't just be the U.S. And they're probably not going to be as 'gentle' as the Mandate-era Brits were or as you might expect the U.S. would be. I think you can expect something more along the lines of Egypt's brutal suppression of the Muslim Brotherhood as a model. In fact, it's entirely possible that Egypt might actually welcome the opportunity to root out Hamas, which is an offshoot of the MB - so the new security forces in Gaza might end up being especially repressive.
Or they might not. It might be that none of the nations involved actually care about this very much, don't want to bother with Gaza, and are just happy to have the fig leaf of a solution that nominally has someone in charge of Gaza that isn't Hamas or Israel for long enough that they can all sign their security deals under Abraham Accords Mark II. They might be willing to let Gaza remain a perpetual failed state, as long as the war ends for just long enough that they don't have to placate their domestic populations.
