Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Thursday that Israel will completely reoccupy the Gaza Strip.
When asked by Fox News host Bill Hemmer if Israel plans to take control of all of Gaza, the prime minister responded, “We intend to.”
Netanyahu explained the purpose will be to ensure Israel’s security by removing the terrorist group Hamas then pass it to civilian governance “that is not Hamas and not anyone advocating the destruction of Israel.”
