Toward a New Political Realism: A More Pragmatic Approach to Gaza

This article advances a pragmatic political framework for addressing the Gaza conflict by moving beyond traditional conflict management approaches toward reality-based engagement. It argues that sustainable stability requires integrating local actors into conditional political and economic arrangements, rather than excluding them. Drawing on comparative regional experiences, the paper offers a strategic lens for policymakers and scholars seeking viable pathways to de-escalation, regional integration, and long-term security in one of the most complex conflict environments in the Middle East.
