About two weeks ago, on July 14, The head of the Palestinian Authority submitted a formal request to the UN, requesting designation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a UN Protectorate territory, where the UN would take over administrative, civil and military control of these areas. Here is a copy of the Letter, with The Secretary General's forwarding note to the Security Council.

Protectorate status is distinct from Trustee status, where a Non-UN entity assumes direct control. In the modern era, UN Protectorates have been established in East Timor, Cambodia, Slavonia, and Kosovo.See UN protectorates

What happens after the cease fire? Hopefully soon, sanity and humanity will prevail, and there will be a cease fire. Then what?
