With tensions running high over Gaza, things can easily run out of control. But there are ways out of the impasses. One being a scenario in which Egypt plays a key role.
What is often forgotten is that Hamas is a faction of the Muslim Brotherhood which held power in Egypt for a brief period during the Arab spring some ten years ago, so the current government of Egypt is no friend of Hamas. They too would like the organization wiped out.
But unlike Israel, which can be accused of ethnic cleansing, Egypt cannot be accused of such intent if it moves into Gaza, because Palestinians are fellow Muslims. Many of them came originally from Egypt.
Israel and Egypt are allies as far as Hamas is concerned, and a simple solution to the current situation would be for the two to agree on a new role for the Gaza strip. Israel may be willing to give political control over Gaza to Egypt in return for a guarantee that it will for ever remain a demilitarized zone.
With Egypt in control of Gaza, Hamas will be rounded up and neutralized. Egypt and Israel end up victorious over the terrorist organization, and peace is restored.
