Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant on Thursday announced a plan outlining the next phase of the war against Hamas in Gaza and his vision for the government structure in Gaza after the destruction of Hamas.
It is not clear whether Mr. Gallant's plan is an official government plan, but it was distributed by the Israeli Government Press Office. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has postponed a meeting with his cabinet to draft a formal plan for the post-war Gaza Strip, but the corrupt government that currently rules most Palestinians living in the West Bank and encourages terrorism He said the Palestinian Authority should not be allowed to return. To Gaza.
Gallant's plan may therefore be a pilot balloon distributed by Netanyahu's government but not formally adopted.
It begins with a description of the next phase of the war (the “third phase”). “The fighting will continue until the objectives of the war are achieved: (1) the return of the hostages, (2) the dismantling of Hamas forces, and (3) the removal of the military threat from the Gaza Strip. ”
In the northern Gaza Strip, where Hamas has all but been wiped out, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will reduce operations, but “raids, the destruction of the Terror Tunnel, air and ground operations, and special operations will continue,” Gallant suggested. ing. ”
In the southern Gaza Strip, where fighting is still intense, Gallant said: [will] “The focus will be on eliminating the Hamas leadership and enabling the return of the hostages,” he said, adding that the IDF would continue fighting there “as long as it is deemed necessary.”
In “Phase IV” or “The Day After,” Gallant suggests that Hamas will not take control of Gaza. Israeli military gains “freedom of operation” in Gaza. There is no resettlement of Israeli civilians in Gaza. to be ruled by local “non-hostile” Palestinians; He said the United States would work with European and Arab countries to lead a multinational “task force” to rebuild the region. Israel will also retain the ability to inspect all goods entering Gaza, and Egypt will play a consultative role.
Importantly, the Palestinian Authority is completely excluded from this plan.
