None of these are ideal, but all are superior to the status quo. Israel gave them their chance to govern themselves. They blew it.

Neighboring Arab states won’t take Gazan refugees. Jordan made this clear decades ago when they closed their border to Palestinians after kicking them out of Jordan (aka East Bank, anyone remember that phraseology?) into a weakly governed Lebanon. The Egyptian border with Gaza is closed. Israel is going to have to own this one I’m afraid.
As I’ve already said, it’s going to be a combo-plan COA/A&B.
It is too risky as an open front for infiltration from land and sea to keep Gaza empty. It won’t be left empty. Life for Gazan males ages 15+ is about to get a lot more complex or short. Those males above the age of 8 will need a generational watch until a new generation can grow up free of a UN “education” and maybe learning their neighbors are human beings too.
While I favor his COA-C option, 50 years won’t be enough time to cool the Palestinians’ hatred. There are Islamic groups fighting over things that happened hundreds to over one thousand of years ago. Sunni verses Shia Islam is one example. Their butt hurt over the Crusades is another.
Option C. Like the Rachel Corriizerss up track hub to track hub, and start pushing east.
The pali terrs chant ‘From the river to the sea’? Give them the sea – let them settle on a reef in the Med. Outside the 200 mile exclusion zone, of course.
Or the UN can declare that they have a new homeland – Bir Tawil. Surrounded by other mohammedan nations, nobody wants it now, much larger than Gaza….Let them take that desert and make it a paradise, as Israel did – before the Gazans took a paradise and defiled it to a desert.

Get some huge barges and start ferrying the Gazans to Iran. Iran funded the problem, they should own the fallout.
I like COA-B. COA-C (Carthago delena est) might feel nice for some, but a piece of wilderness does not create wealth. If Israel totally “denazified” Gaza and then replaced the entire population with nice Zionists, it could strengthen Israel in the long run. The current residents can have their own Babylonian exile. Gaza is potentially valuable real estate and somebody should make use of it.
US Deep state meddling hasn’t made anything better in 75 years, isn’t going to now. We need to stay out of the situation.
I guess we’re about to find out, since Israel ordered over a million Gazaites to head southward now. The population of Carthage at the start of the Third Punic War was guesstimated at 700,000. When the siege was over, 450,000 were dead, 50,000 captured and sold into slavery, and 200,000 missing. Maybe those are the ones that made a run for it. The smaller Punic cities of North Africa survived as subjects of the Roman Republic, and the Punic language (properly, Canaanite, of which Hebrew was a dialect and even then extinct) survived in vernacular use until overrun by Arabic 900 years or so later. The Tifinagh abjad is still in use.
