Netanyahu Lays Out Three-Point Plan for Post-War Gaza
EXCERPT:
NETANYAHU: "I think the day after the war — first of all, the day after Hamas. We have to destroy Hamas. Otherwise Gazans don't have a future, peace doesn’t have a future, the expansion of peace doesn’t have a future. So, get rid of Hamas. That’s our goal, number one. Number two, demilitarize Gaza and the once sustained demilitarization, I think, requires that Israel have the overall responsibility to fight resurgent terrorists. Three, ensure that Gaza seek a civilian administration by Gazans who are not affiliated with Hamas and also don’t seek the destruction of Israel. And the last thing is rebuild Gaza in a peaceful way, using the sort of modern Arab states and the international community. That’s a realistic plan. That’s the one I have. But it goes through victory. There is peace and stability and prosperity only through victory. The road to peace goes through victory over Hamas."
