Netanyahu on post-war Gaza

On Sunday, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hamas demands in exchange for the release of the hostages, who are still being held in Gaza.

In his televised address that he rejected it, and that returning the hostages is one of war’s objectives, which would be completed by military pressure. Netanyahu reiterated that Gaza must be demilitarized, and under the full security control of Israel, so an attack such as those of 7th October will never happen again.

He retreated to argue that Israel must have full security control on all the territory west of the Jordan River.
