Israel does not want to permanently occupy Gaza

Netanyahu said Israel has no plans to remain in Gaza longterm.”We don’t seek to govern Gaza. We don’t seek to occupy it, but we seek to give it and us a better future,” he said, adding that Israel does not “seek to displace anyone.”

Pushed on his plan for Gaza’s future, he said the impoverished and blockaded territory must be “demilitarised, deradicalised and rebuilt.”
