Netanyahu: Israel will take ‘overall security responsibility’ in Gaza after war

BY TARA SUTER - 11/07/23 10:00 AM ET

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will take “overall security responsibility” in Gaza after the war between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas.

“I think Israel will, for an indefinite period, will have the overall security responsibility, because we’ve seen what happens when we don’t have it,” Netanyahu said in an interview with ABC News on Monday. “When we don’t have that security responsibility, what we have is the eruption of Hamas terror on a scale that we couldn’t imagine.”

The prime minister suggested he was open to allowing “little pauses” in fire for the transport of humanitarian goods and hostages to leave, but reiterated there will not be a “general” cease-fire unless hostages taken by Hamas are released.

President Biden and officials from the White House have been pushing for a “humanitarian pause” in the conflict. The pause has been described by the White House as a temporary, “localized” break in fighting to allow aid into Gaza or civilians to get out.

1. Soooooo

it will go from the largest outdoor prison on the planet, to the largest OCCUPIED outdoor prison on the planet.

2. And it's pretty much rubble at this point. How do you maintain security

[NoRethugFriends]

4. get rid of the tunnels for one thing

[Walleye]

8. And that sounds like a huge project. Then they have to start rebuilding. Everybody needs help over there

[NoRethugFriends]

9. not that big if no resistance

And yes everybody needs help. Oh, and clear the settler hooligans from the West Bank, and throw bibi in jail and throw Y the key, or try him for treason.

[Walleye]

10. I agree with all that, although I consider myself pretty ignorant on the subject

[NoRethugFriends]

3. brought on by Hamas terrorism

You always do skip that part don't you?

[comradebillyboy]

5. The IDF casualties from such a move would

be very high and politically unacceptable. The Israeli public doesn't like unnecessary IDF casualties. Beside if IDF is diverted to Gaza who will protect and enable settler terrorism on the West Bank? I suspect the IDF reservists will have a lot to say about that.

6. More red meat to Hamas

Hamas' power comes from being the perpetual victim and not part of the solution. This feeds perfectly to their game plan.

[TeamProg]

7. Oh, just great. We can see where this is going. nt

[sabbat hunter]

11. Biden should demand

that the UN take over Gaza as peacekeepers as soon as Israel is done with Hamas. Then the US, Israel, and the Arab countries fund the rebuilding of Gaza. That rebuilding overseen by an independent NGO to make sure the money actually goes for rebuilding.
