Netanyahu: Israel intends to capture all of Gaza, hand it over to non-PA 'Arab forces'
Source: The Times of Israel
Premier declines to say Trump gave green light to occupy entire Strip, but says Israel and US agree on certain principles for post-Hamas Gaza, including non-Israeli civil control
The premier said a detailed plan will yet be developed for this post-Hamas government, and that it will not place Israel in control of the Strip as a civil government, nor allow the Palestinian Authority to play a role.
Our plan is not to occupy or annex Gaza. Our goal is to destroy Hamas and get our hostages back, and then hand over Gaza to a transitory government, Netanyahu said to a group of visiting Indian journalists, according to the English-language CNN-News18.
We will never hand [Gaza] over to the Palestinian Authority or Hamas. We will provide overall security. There will be a security perimeter provided by us, the premier added.

(9,150 posts)remain in Gaza as security. It is important to note that he is talking about handing over "civil control" and nothing else. No mention of installing "squatter villages" like in the West Bank so we can assume there will be a land rush. Annexation without actually using the word. This is not too dissimilar to the horrendous "agreements" in the West Bank that have been a nightmare of IDF abuse and squatter violence.
