Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has outlined his plan for Gaza following major military operations, amidst disagreements within his government. Benny Gantz has demanded a clear plan or threatened to leave the government, while Defense Minister Yoav Galant has accused Netanyahu of potentially paving the way for an occupation of Gaza in the future.
Netanyahu refuted claims of planning an occupation, emphasizing the need to defeat Hamas as the first step towards ensuring a peaceful future for Gaza. He stressed the importance of sustained demilitarization and the establishment of a civilian administration in Gaza, led by individuals not affiliated with Hamas or hostile to Israel.
