Israel will not rule Gaza strip after the war against the Islamist group ends Hamasit will be done by the Palestinian institution, the Israeli Ministry of Defense assured this Thursday, disputing the Prime Minister’s statements, Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Hamas will not rule Gaza, Israel will not rule civilians in Gaza. The people of Gaza are Palestinians, so the Palestinian organizations will be in charge, provided there are no hostile acts or threats against the State of Israel,” he says. defense statement.
The report, which does not specify which Palestinian institutions would take control of the enclave, is part of a plan that the defense minister Yoav Gallantwill present to the War Cabinet before the upcoming visit of the US Secretary of State to Israel, Anthony Blinkenwho will talk about the post-war period in Gaza on a tour of the Middle East.
Netanyahu has repeatedly assured that he has no intention of relinquishing control of Gaza Strip to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA)which governs small parts of the occupied West Bank, through its president Mahmoud Abbas.
“As long as I am prime minister of Israel, this will not happen,” he said in December, accusing the ANP of financing “terrorism.”
Even the most radical right-wing members of Netanyahu’s coalition have publicly advocated encouraging the “emigration” of Gazans to other countries and for Israel to continue the settlement policy in the enclave that it abolished in 2005.
But the Ministry of Defense resolved this Thursday by ensuring that “There will be no Israeli civilian presence in the Gaza Strip”although according to everything, Israel will maintain the air, land and sea blockade it has implemented over the enclave since 2007.
“Due to security requirements, Israel will inspect goods entering the Gaza Strip,” the ministry said.
Furthermore, Gallant predicts that an international front, including the United States, European and Middle Eastern countries, will “take charge of rehabilitating the Strip.”
NOW – The main partner of Israel and which supported the Jewish state even by supplying weapons – wants the ANP to have some control over Gaza after the war ends, and advocates a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Several analysts believe that Netanyahu has strongly opposed these views in order to avoid provoking a break with his far-right anti-Arab partners, a key force in maintaining his governing coalition.
ANP, with cooperation agreements with Israel based on Oslo Agreements (1993-1995)it lost control of Gaza in 2007, when Hamas took power by force.
The ANP has stated that it will take over the management of the enclave only within the framework of a peace process with Israel that is considering the creation of a Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as the capital and the West Bank and Gaza as constituent territories, something that is very far from the current reality.
