Israel defense chief says he would oppose "Israeli military rule" in Gaza

ai generated text

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has been critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the post-war plan for Gaza, specifically expressing opposition to Israel maintaining control over security affairs in the territory. Gallant believes that Israel should not be involved in ruling Gaza and instead advocates for Palestinian entities to take control of the besieged territory. In contrast, Netanyahu has indicated that Israel intends to maintain open-ended control over security affairs.

    1. This is all really showing deepening divisions among members of the war cabinet at a very critical time.
    1. I must reiterate … I will not agree to the establishment of Israeli military rule in Gaza. Israel must not establish civilian rule in Gaza.
    2. The 'day after Hamas,' will only be achieved with Palestinian entities taking control of Gaza, accompanied by international actors, establishing a governing alternative to Hamas' rule.
    1. As long as Hamas remains in place, no other entity would enter Gaza to administer the civilian aspects, especially not the Palestinian Authority.
    2. I'm not willing to replace Hamastan with Fatahstan.
    1. Defense Minister Gallant announced today his support for the establishment of a Palestinian terrorist state as a reward for terrorism and Hamas for the most terrible massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
    1. Relations with the US are collapsing, the middle class is collapsing.
    2. Soldiers are being killed every day in Gaza and they fight among themselves on television. The cabinet is disassembled and non-functional. Ministers protest in front of cabinet meetings.
    1. There needs to be a clear and concrete plan, and we look to Israel to come forward with its ideas.
    2. We also can't have anarchy and a vacuum that's likely to be filled by chaos.
    1. We strongly condemn @SecDef Austin for his dishonest and delusional genocide denial, which ignores the fact that the Israeli govt made openly genocidal threats at the start of the war and has spent six months acting on those threats by sparking a famine, destroying civilian infrastructure, ethnically cleansing entire cities & massacring 33,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
