Tel Aviv –
Israeli Defense Minister (Menhan) Yoav Gallant has revealed plans for the future of the Gaza Strip after the end of the war against Hamas. Gallant said Hamas would no longer be in power and that Palestinians would be responsible for the Gaza Strip, without an Israeli civilian presence in the Palestinian enclave.
As reported Al Jazeeraon Friday (5/1/2024), the plan for the future of the Gaza Strip proposed by Gallant on Thursday (4/1), local time, stated that Palestine would be responsible for managing civil affairs in the region after the end of the war against Hamas.
Gallant stressed that Hamas will no longer control the Palestinian office area and that Israel will not even rule over civilians in the Gaza Strip.
“It is the Palestinians who live in the Gaza Strip, that’s why the Palestinian players will be responsible for them, as long as they are not hostile to Israel and do not take actions against Israel,” Gallant said in a conversation with military correspondents, as quoted. by local Israeli media, Haaretz.
“Hamas will not rule Gaza, Israel will not rule civilians in Gaza,” he added.
Israel’s defense minister said multinational forces, including Arab countries, must lead efforts to rebuild the Gaza Strip, which has been devastated by a series of Israeli bombings in recent months.
In his proposal, Gallant added that there would be no Israeli “civilian presence” in the Gaza Strip after the war ends. This is contrary to the calls of numerous Israeli ministers and many Israeli soldiers, who want the return of Jewish settlers to the Gaza Strip.
“There will be no more Israeli civilian presence in the Gaza Strip once the war objectives are achieved,” Gallant said in his proposal, as reported by The Guardian.
