Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated a desire to transfer control of specific territories to Arab forces, emphasizing that Israel does not wish to maintain governance over these areas. Netanyahu's comments came before a meeting with senior ministers regarding military control plans for Gaza. Proposed scenarios included possible phased control over areas not yet governed by the military, alongside evacuation warnings for Palestinians. Control would overturn a 2005 withdrawal decision, and it remains uncertain whether this would lead to a prolonged takeover or a temporary operation against Hamas.
"We don't want to keep it. We want to have a security perimeter. We don't want to govern it. We don't want to be there as a governing body."
Mr Netanyahu mentioned territorial handover to Arab forces but did not specify which countries or governance structures would be involved.
