Netanyahu: Israel to Assume Overall Security Responsibility in Gaza Indefinitely After War

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel would take on the overall security responsibility in Gaza indefinitely after the war with Hamas. He emphasized that Israel does not seek to conquer, occupy, or govern Gaza, but stressed the need for a 'credible force' to prevent militant threats. Netanyahu also expressed opposition to the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza post-war, indicating that the Israeli military will remain until Gaza has a 'reconstructed civilian authority.'
