Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israeli military would continue to control the Gaza Strip even following the war ended, local media reported.
On the 10th local time, the Israeli daily Haaretz and the Times of Israel reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu held a meeting with local governments bordering the southern Gaza Strip for the first time since the outbreak of war, saying, “Even following Hamas is defeated, the Gaza Strip will remain under the control of the Israeli military.” He was reported to have said, “It is.”
He explained, “After Hamas is eliminated, there will be comprehensive security controls, including complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip to ensure there is no further threat to Israeli citizens.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s remarks run counter to the position of U.S. President Joe Biden, who called the reoccupation of the Gaza Strip a “big mistake,” and members of the Israeli government came forward to explain that they had no intention of reoccupying the Gaza Strip.
