Netanyahu Proposes Post-War Gaza Plan with Indefinite Israeli Military Control

In the aftermath of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presented his post-war plans for the territory. According to various articles, Netanyahu's proposal includes installing local Palestinian officials to run civil affairs while maintaining indefinite operational freedom for Israeli forces. This plan is at odds with some allies' positions and has been dismissed by Palestinian leaders. The major points of friction between Netanyahu's plan and other governments include the role of Israel in controlling security indefinitely, the future of the Palestinian Authority, and the prospect of a revitalized Palestinian autonomous government eventually governing both Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank as a precursor to statehood.
