In response to a question about the possibility of the Palestinian Authority taking over the administration of the Gaza Strip after the war, Netanyahu said, “There must be something else,” adding, “There will not be a civil authority that teaches its children to hate Israel, to kill Israelis, to eliminate the State of Israel,” as he put it.
The Israeli Prime Minister had said that the Israeli army would continue its battle against Hamas in the Gaza Strip “with full force,” rejecting the increasing international calls for a ceasefire.
Netanyahu stated in a televised speech that a ceasefire will not be possible unless militants in Gaza release all 240 hostages held by Hamas in its attack last October 7, stressing that the return of the hostages is a “central goal” in the Israeli war on Gaza.
Netanyahu confirmed that Israel will work to extend its full security control over the Gaza Strip, the day after the war, saying that this will “eliminate the security threats” to which Israel may be exposed.
In response to a question about what he meant by security control, Netanyahu said that “Israeli forces should be able to enter Gaza when it is necessary to pursue militants” – as is the case in West Bank cities.
