Let me know if you want the article content reposted here

Ideally an international coalition of the US, Israel, and the Arab states in the American orbit (KSA, Egypt, Jordan most importantly). The EU and the rest of the Arab League can help too, in terms of funding and such.

None of the Arab states will do this. Leading a coalition at Israel’s behest is political suicide in every one of those countries

Naysayers said the same thing about normalization. Guess we'll see.

There’s a reason normalization has mostly come from governments that aren’t accountable to their people. It’s not viable in Arab countries where the state needs to care about popular opinion, unfortunately.

That said, I think you’re right that the only solution here is “de-hamasification” and long-term occupation. But it’ll have to be carried out by Israel, not a a coalition.
