Israel minister says opposes Jewish post-war 'control' over Gaza
2024-05-16
[GEO.TV] Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Wednesday said he was opposed to Israeli military control or taking responsibility for the governance of the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip after the ongoing war with Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
How fortunate the final decision is left to his political masters.
"Since October, I have been raising this issue consistently in the cabinet, and have received no response," Gallant said in a televised statement.
Consider yourself heard, and let it go.
"I must reiterate — I will not agree to the establishment of Israeli military rule in Gaza. Israel must not establish civilian rule in Gaza."
When you are prime minister your opinion will be determinative. In the meantime, it is only advisory.
"I call on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make a decision and declare that Israel will not establish civilian control over the Gaza strip," Gallant said, calling for a "governing alternative to Hamas" immediately.
Don’t you have a war to run, buddy? Go, get on with it!
"The day after Hamas will only be achieved with Paleostinian entities taking control of Gaza, accompanied by international actors, establishing a governing alternative to Hamas' rule," he said.

"This, above all, is in interest of the State of Israel."
