Israel does not seek to occupy and govern Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this on Thursday to the American television channel Fox. He does think that after the war against the militant Palestinian movement Hamas, there should be ‘a credible force’ that enters the enclave if there is a military threat. According to medical sources, more than 10,800 people have been killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza.
Netanyahu had previously said that Israel would remain responsible for Gaza’s security indefinitely, which went down poorly with the United States, Israel’s main ally. Washington stated that it was against an occupation of Gaza by Israel.
Netanyahu told Fox that there must be a civilian administration in Gaza, but that Israel will ensure that large-scale attacks on Israel, such as by Hamas on October 7, which left more than 1,400 dead, cannot happen again.
The United States believes that the Palestinian Authority should take over governance. Hamas put an end to the rule of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza in 2007. The Palestinian Authority itself, including President Mahmoud Abbas, wants to return to Gaza, but also wants to talk about returning the territories conquered by Israel in 1967.
