Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that after the elimination of Hamas, Israel will have full security control over the Gaza Strip. By full control, Netanyahu means demilitarizing the entire area so that it no longer poses a threat.
"The Israeli army will remain in control of the Strip, we will not hand it over to international forces," Netanyahu told them.
It follows a proposal by US officials who have floated the idea in recent weeks that an international force, possibly with troops from neighboring Arab allies, would manage security in the Gaza Strip for an interim period until it could be returned. a functioning Palestinian government.
