Netanyahu: Israel intends to capture all of Gaza, hand it over to non-PA 'Arab forces' [View all]
Source: The Times of Israel
Premier declines to say Trump gave green light to occupy entire Strip, but says Israel and US agree on ‘certain principles’ for post-Hamas Gaza, including non-Israeli civil control
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday, ahead of a key cabinet meeting on the next stage of the Gaza war, that Israel intends to take control of the entire Strip, then hand it over to an unspecified Arab governing force.
The premier said a “detailed plan” will yet be developed for this post-Hamas government, and that it will not place Israel in control of the Strip as a civil government, nor allow the Palestinian Authority to play a role.
“Our plan is not to occupy or annex Gaza. Our goal is to destroy Hamas and get our hostages back, and then hand over Gaza to a transitory government,” Netanyahu said to a group of visiting Indian journalists, according to the English-language CNN-News18.
“We will never hand [Gaza] over to the Palestinian Authority or Hamas. We will provide overall security. There will be a security perimeter provided by us,” the premier added.
