2 As in many Arab and other countries, there are strong clan and tribe affiliations.

The clans/tribes will sometimes cooperate, sometimes compete, sometimes ignore the others.

In Gaza the clans/tribes sometimes cooperated with the IDF, sometimes opposed and sometimes cooperated with Hamas, sometimes opposed, etc.

The international force could potentially establish a governing system which utilizes clan identification. The clans would be managed partly by letting them steal aid or could be actual contractors.

yes, UNIFIL in Lebanon and UNRWA had Hezbollah and Hamas respectively as their 'agents' working with locals.

The results were that the agents effectively ruled the territories.

The key to making Gaza workable is to have the agent neutral or at least close to neutral. Letting the agent steal a little bit is probably part of the trick to getting this done. But the key is NOT letting Hamas become the ruler of the agent.
