Is there a political solution to the conflict between Israel and Hamas that can avoid further rounds of fighting? As the guns fall silent, are conditions now ripe for politics and diplomacy to shape a new strategic reality in the Gaza Strip? Fathom editors invited leading policy analysts to discuss one proposal: ‘reconstruction for demilitarisation’ – a long-term, large-scale economic development package for the Strip to transform the lives of Gazan civilians in return for the disarmament of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other armed groups.
