Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presented his plan for managing the Gaza Strip after the war to the security cabinet, according to media reports.
Ednews reports according to the newspapers “The Times of Israel” and “Haaretz”, that provides for the following points:
- The repatriation of all Israeli hostages (dead or alive.)
- Israel's full security control of the entire coastal area by the Israeli military - this includes the destruction of Hamas' military structure and the establishment of a buffer zone
- The closure of the Palestinian relief organization UNRWA.
- It is vaguely stated that the administration of the Gaza Strip should be led by “local officials” with professional experience. These will be people who have no connections to “countries or organizations that support terrorism.
- The Palestinian Authority (PA), which governs the West Bank , is not explicitly named in the plan. However, this does not exclude their participation in the future administration of the Gaza Strip
The plan is largely based on familiar principles that Netanyahu has repeatedly expressed since the start of the war. According to Israeli media reports, this is the first time that they have been formally presented to the cabinet.
