This is the best summary I could come up with:
At some point, the official told me, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israelis would have to face the reality that if they don’t make concessions to their Arab neighbours, they will be left dealing with the chaos and devastation they created in Gaza on their own.
The Arabs simply will not fund yet another rebuild, and no-one - including the Americans - has any interest in participating in the kind of multinational peacekeeping force that Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant suggested last week.
“Other Arab countries will not contribute to the reconstruction of Gaza unless it is part of a bigger political settlement,” says Kim Ghattas, a Lebanon-based Middle East expert and author of Black Wave, a book on the Saudi-Iran rivalry.
On Wednesday, Blinken’s armoured motorcade rolled from Tel Aviv to Ramallah in the West Bank for a closed-door meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas - talks, the US secretary said, that resulted in a commitment to enact meaningful change.
Blinken did announce on Tuesday night that the Americans and Israelis had reached an agreement to allow a UN-led “assessment mission” to enter the northern part of the Gaza Strip to determine when Palestinian civilians can return to their homes.
The White House, he said, wants to assure Arab allies - and domestic critics within Biden’s Democratic Party - that they understand Palestinian grievances and aren’t giving Israel a green light for unconstrained warfare.

What happens if Trump wins the presidency, and how does this roadmap change?
Doesn’t matter Israel will not agree to
in exchange for an end to the Gaza War, and Israel’s acceptance of a “clear path” to Palestinian political rights and a unified Palestinian state, comprising the West Bank and Gaza.
I’m sure Blinken already knows this.
Trump will immediately declare open support for Iran then change his mind two days later after realizing that he won’t get a free hotel out of the deal.
By day five who fucking knows… Maybe Trump will be distracted by a bucket of KFC… Maybe he’ll Nuke Yemen - both are equally likely.
