Many are turning to the idea of deploying an international peacekeeping mission to Gaza .
They hope that an international mission might enforce a cease-fire, stabilize the devastated territory, and rebuild it.
Rebuilding Gaza will take years and require extraordinary levels of funding and mobilization.
Peacekeeping as a concept was born out of the Arab - Israeli conflict.
A peacekeeping mission can’t be effective if it is seen as an extension of Israel ’s regime, writes Peter Bergen .
Bergen: The October 7 attack and renewal of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah have changed things.
Israel and Hamas must agree to a cease-fire, Bergen says.
The UAE has said it is willing to contribute to a peacekeeping force only if, first , the PA invites the deployment, undergoes significant reforms, and is empowered by Israel to take the lead in rebuilding Gaza .
Neither Israel nor the PA appears ready to meet the UAE ’s conditions.
Both sides suffer from political polarization, the trauma of extreme violence, and bad leadership.
