"Netanyahu Outlines Security Plan for Postwar Gaza, Defying U.S. Diplomacy"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has unveiled a post-war plan for the Gaza Strip, proposing a continued Israeli military presence and a security buffer zone, in contrast to U.S. wishes. The plan also includes demilitarization, eradicating Hamas governance, and maintaining Israeli control over civilian issues in the territory. The proposal risks deepening the divide with Washington, which supports a two-state resolution and has been pursuing normalization of relations between Israel and Middle Eastern countries.
