This requires, first and foremost, superseding the cognitive dissonance whereby Israel dreams of engagement with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt but refuses that path with the Brothers’ Gazan offspring, Hamas. Instead, Israel should acknowledge Hamas’s right to govern, which means opening the borders (including the Rafah crossing to Egypt), lifting the siege, and allowing free movement of goods and people.
最重要的是，这要求取代以色列希望与埃及的穆斯林兄弟会合作而拒绝兄弟会在加沙的子组织哈马斯的路线之间的认知分歧。以色列应该承认哈马斯的治理权，这意味着开放边境（包括通往埃及的拉法）、撤围并允许贸易和人民的自由移动。
