Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed on Thursday night for the first time, and after four and a half months of war in Gaza, his plan for ‘the day after’ the conflict, in which he detailed a demilitarized Strip, whose security It will depend on Israel, and in which the UN Refugee Agency (UNRWA) does not exist.
In a document, presented to the war cabinet for approval and published today by the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu recalled the short-term objectives: destroy the military capabilities and government infrastructure of both Hamas and Islamic Jihad, free hostages and prevent Gaza from becoming a threat again.
In the medium term, the president announced a Strip where Israel will maintain freedom of military operations “without a time limit”, with a security perimeter on the divide and Israeli control of the border between Gaza and Egypt to prevent the reappearance of “elements ». terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
“The ‘South Fence’ will operate, to the extent possible, in cooperation with Egypt and with the assistance of the United States, and will be based on measures to prevent smuggling from Egypt, both underground and by air, including the Rafah crossing . «, details the document.
Also, Israel says it will maintain security control over the West Bank and Gaza, while in the enclave “there will be complete demilitarization,” beyond what is necessary to maintain public order.
Regarding civil administration and public order, they would be regulated by local officials with administrative experience away from “countries or entities that support terrorism and will not receive payment from them,” says the document, which announces a “comprehensive program” of what called deradicalization of religious and educational institutions in the enclave, with the help of other Arab countries.
In the long term, Netanyahu insisted on the rejection of a Palestinian state or of “international dictates on a permanent agreement” and foresaw the end of UNRWA, “whose agents were involved in the October 7 massacre,” the text repeats, despite the lack of conclusive evidence since Israel launched this accusation against a group of them at the end of January.
“Israel will work to stop UNRWA activities in the Gaza Strip and replace them with responsible international aid agencies,” the plan details.
