And this is the correct deal.

It is a deal. It's a deal that doesn't address or resolve the underlying Palestinian independence movement and basically results in Gaza being reoccupied. The Palestinians living there will have even less autonomy and self-determination than they did before October 7.

It's a legitimate question whether a re-occupation of Gaza by a different party will result in a stable outcome in even the near term, let alone over a longer time horizon. I think that the population has been so battered by two years of war that they may not have the resources or desire to worry about an independence movement; they're on a completely different level on the pyramid of needs right now. And that might be enough to let a new authoritarian Gazan government cement control and rule the strip the way other authoritarian regimes control their jurisdictions. But that might not be what happens - you might end up with an insurgency against the "Board of Peace."
