In the aftermath of Gaza's disarmament, the region stands at a crossroads between illusionary peace and looming catastrophe. Gaza After the Guns: The Coming Test for the Middle East, and the End of Hamas? is a sweeping analysis of power, ideology, and survival in a postwar landscape where weapons may be silenced, but the struggle endures. The book traces how the Strip's enforced calm has become a mirror for an entire region trapped in cycles of containment, diplomacy, and controlled volatility. From the war rooms of Cairo to the cabinet battles in Jerusalem, from Washington's waning patience to Tehran's calculated provocations, every chapter dissects a different dimension of the new Middle East order. The narrative explores the competing visions shaping Gaza's reconstruction—the Arab counter-proposals, the Western blueprints, and the silent contest between technocracy and theology. It examines the shifting alliances of Israel, Egypt, the Gulf states, and Iran, revealing how economic strategies, digital warfare, and psychological exhaustion have replaced conventional conflict. Through a historian's eye and a strategist's precision, the book follows the fragile architecture of what diplomats call "managed stability." It exposes how aid became weaponized, how disarmament created new dependencies, and how peace itself has become a bureaucratic performance. Drawing on lessons from Baghdad, Beirut, and Damascus, Gaza After the Guns argues that Gaza's unarmed future may define the Middle East's armed present. This is not merely a story about Gaza—it is a chronicle of a region learning to survive without believing in peace. It is about governments that fear victory as much as defeat, leaders trapped in contradictions, and societies exhausted by perpetual preparation for war. Gaza After the Guns confronts the reader with an unsettling question: what happens when peace is no longer an ambition but a management strategy? Rigorously researched, politically charged, and narratively powerful, the book stands as both analysis and warning—a study of how nations weaponize reconstruction and how silence, in a land once defined by explosions, can be the loudest signal of all.
