"Israel's Post-War Strategy for Gaza: Ministers' Debates and Live Developments"

Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has outlined a "day after" plan for the Gaza Strip, proposing that governance be transferred to unspecified Palestinian entities after Israel's military objectives against Hamas are achieved. The plan includes dismantling Hamas's military and governing capabilities and ensuring they no longer pose a threat to Israel. Israel would maintain the right to conduct military operations in Gaza but would not establish a permanent civilian presence. The plan contrasts with views from other Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, who opposes the Palestinian Authority taking control, and far-right figures advocating for the return of Israeli settlers and the emigration of Gaza's Palestinian population. The Palestinian Authority seeks a political solution for all of Palestine, while the US favors a revitalized Palestinian Authority to govern Gaza, differing from Gallant's vision.
