According to reports, political activist Samaneh Parsanian, a media graduate student, has commented on the disarmament of resistance groups in Gaza. Recently, the issue of disarming these groups has emerged as a new symbol of the complex strategic battle between right and wrong. The fundamental question arises: can the deeply rooted popular resistance be removed from the equation through military pressure or the imposition of international conditions while simultaneously creating a genuine project for reconstruction and sustainable stability? The clear answer is no. Without a comprehensive political-security-economic package, no plan in Gaza will yield results.
Disarmament in Gaza is not merely a technical or military issue; it is a profound identity matter. Resistance is born from the faith of the people and decades of oppression and occupation. The social power and political legitimacy of Hamas and Islamic Jihad are what ensure that military tools remain effective and sustainable.
Any plan that seeks to reduce disarmament to a physical operation will not only fail but will also lead to the expansion of underground resistance and complicate the battlefield further. Resistance is a mindset, not a weapons depot.Reconstructing Gaza without security guarantees and without the genuine participation of regional countries, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, is impossible. Experience has shown that any plan revolving around the United States and Israel leads to soft occupation rather than actual reconstruction.
In this context, Washington’s recent invitation to Tehran for the Sharm El-Sheikh meeting was an attempt to legitimize the American post-Gaza plan, which was met with a firm and negative response from the Islamic Republic. Iran rightly recognizes that any imposed compromise is merely a reproduction of occupation under the guise of reconstruction.
The roles of Egypt, Qatar, and international organizations will be crucial for Gaza’s future. Egypt could take control of the borders, while Qatar may serve as the financial gateway for reconstruction. However, history has shown that when mediation is tied to Washington and Tel Aviv, reconstruction becomes a tool for containing resistance.Only when mediators present a political and economic package that upholds the authority of resistance and the dignity of the people of Gaza can we expect a positive role from them, rather than disarming them. An effective strategy for Gaza’s future must encompass three essential pillars: first, ensuring sustainable security and recognizing the role of resistance in the future political framework of Gaza; second, a fair financial package for reconstruction that reaches the people with local oversight and transparency; and third, a political process that strengthens civil institutions and local Palestinian organizations so that the legitimacy of governing Gaza arises from the people and resistance, not from Western directives.
The people of Gaza understand better than anyone that reconstruction without dignity is merely a gilded cage. They refuse to trade apparent security for submission to occupation. Resistance leaders have rightly stated: as long as even an inch of Palestinian land is occupied, talk of disarmament is treason.The so-called post-Gaza project pursued by the United States and its allies is an attempt to impose a puppet regime akin to the Ramallah Authority a structure that has long been integrated into the security apparatus of the Israeli regime and holds no legitimacy among the people.
Even if such a plan is temporarily implemented its fate will be failure as no power can break the will of a nation that stands firm against bombardment siege and poverty. The future of Gaza depends on the degree of political coordination sound financial support and the involvement of independent regional countries including Iran. Disarmament is merely a piece of the puzzle but if it does not align with dignity and resistance it serves only to reinforce occupation.
Any solution that does not rest on resistance Palestinian national unity and the active role of Iran and its allies will be incomplete and fragile and the human cost will once again be borne by the resilient people of Gaza.
