The IDF has formulated plans for Palestinian clans would manage the distribution of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. According to the plans, Gaza will be divided into districts and sub-provinces, which will be controlled by each clan. In addition to distributing humanitarian aid coming in from Egypt and Israel, the clans will manage civilian life in Gaza for an interim period. The proposed scheme may also extend to the West Bank and recommends dividing the territories into emirates, and Israel retaining security control. Dr. Mordechai Kedar, a researcher on the Middle East and Islam at the Begin Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilan university, said that clan rule is prevalent across the Middle East and was the most stable form of rule in the region. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that the concept of clan rule may not sit well with the West but was successful in the East.
