Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned this Monday that Israel will take charge of the security of Gaza indefinitely, when the war waged in that territory against the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas ends.
“I believe that Israel will have, for an indefinite period, global responsibility for security because we have seen what happens when we do not have it,” Netanyahu stressed, in an excerpt from the interview given to the North American radio station ABC.
“When we don’t have that responsibility for security, what we have is an eruption of Hamas terror on a scale we couldn’t imagine,” he added.
When asked who should govern Gaza when the war ends, the Israeli ruler replied: “Those who do not want to follow the path of Hamas.”
On October 7, Hamas – classified as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union and Israel – carried out an attack of unprecedented dimensions in Israeli territory, leaving more than 1,400 dead, most of them civilians, and more than 200 hostages. who was held captive in the Gaza Strip.
Israel then began strong reprisals against that poor Palestinian enclave, controlled by Hamas since 2007, with cuts in the supply of food, water, electricity and fuel and daily bombings, followed by a ground offensive that completed the siege of Gaza City on Thursday. .
The war between Israel and Hamas, which this Monday marks its 31st day and threatens to spread throughout the Middle East region, has so far left more than 10,000 dead in the Gaza Strip, announced the Palestinian Ministry of Health, controlled by the Hamas Islamist movement.
