Gaza

In arms’ way: Gaza-deal sticking points turns Gaza from a brief example of vague diplomacy into the main implementation case. The episode says around 2.1 million Gazans are clustered in about one third of the territory, about three quarters are displaced, the Israeli army occupies about two thirds, Hamas controls much of the rest, and small militia enclaves further complicate any withdrawal map.

Gaza appears in Omission accomplished: why the Iran-war cycle spins on as one of the unresolved Middle East files Greg Carlstrom compares with the U.S.-Iran memorandum. The episode says the Gaza agreement leaves hard questions unanswered, including Hamas disarmament and [[Israel|Israeli]] withdrawal.

The source-scoped role of Gaza is to show how a diplomatic formula can avoid the issues that make settlement enforceable. In that sense it belongs to Thin Diplomatic Frameworks and Proxy Conflict Spoiler Risk rather than to a full reconstruction or humanitarian account.
