Since the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas, the war in the Gaza Strip has been dogged by a persistent question: What happens after the conflict ends?

The article from The Seattle Times discusses the potential consequences of a power vacuum in Gaza following the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. It highlights concerns that without a clear governing authority, Gaza could descend into chaos, potentially empowering local warlords and criminal gangs. The piece notes that the absence of Hamas's control might lead to increased lawlessness, with groups vying for power and resources. This situation could exacerbate the humanitarian crisis, as these groups might exploit the population for their own gain, further destabilizing the region. The article also touches on the international community's worry about the lack of a coherent plan for governance post-conflict, which could hinder efforts to rebuild and stabilize Gaza.
