In the wake of the Gaza conflict, President Trump has announced a new “board of peace” to steer the next phase of the post-war process. However, a closer look at its members—including Qatar, Turkey, and former Palestinian authority officials—raises serious questions about the future of Israeli security. As analysts debate whether Israel is being boxed in, many within Israel fear a repeat of past failures like the Oslo Accords, where international guarantees crumbled in the face of Middle Eastern realities. This video, the fifth in our series on Israel as a rising regional superpower, delves into the complexities of this new arrangement and what it truly means for the region.

Israel’s position, however, is clearer and more resolute than ever. For Israel, the future of Gaza is not a diplomatic experiment but a matter of national defense, with one non-negotiable condition: the complete and total disarmament of Hamas. This stance is not born from ideology, but from a newfound position of strength and independence on the world stage. We explore how Israel’s military dominance, strategic regional partnerships, and growing economic power allow it to reject flawed international plans and insist on outcomes that guarantee its long-term security. Gone are the days of outsourcing security; Israel is now confident enough to say no, and to mean it.
