The notion that Hamas should be a junior partner in the umbrella organisation of the PLO is strange, particularly as the PLO Premier is talking about 'state building'. I note that this isn't a stated view from the US side.

Israel will remain the occupying power and they will not (imo) countenance any role for Hamas. In particular, it is possible that Israel will not have eliminated Hamas at the eventual ceasefire point.

Also, seeing that Iran is Hamas' puppet master, this dimension will play into Israel's decisions on the governance of Gaza.

However, there is more from a non-paywalled source with in depth analysis. The Palestinian PM makes a valid point, seen from here:

Asked why Israel can’t eliminate Hamas, Shtayyeh said: “Hamas is in Lebanon, everybody knows Hamas leadership is in Qatar and they are here in the West Bank.”
