Israel outlines plans for Gaza once its bombardment ends
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz speak during a news conference in the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv, Israel on October 28, 2023

ISRAEL has revealed its plans for the Gaza Strip once it concludes invading the region, part of a “vision for phase three” in a document shared by Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.

The plan, submitted to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet this week, states that the civil administration of the Strip would pass to an undefined Israeli-guided Palestinian body, who would run it day-to-day, while Israel would keep “security control.”

Mr Gallant also outlined how Israeli forces would shift to a scaled-down “new combat approach” in northern Gaza while continuing to fight Hamas in the south of the territory “for as long as necessary.”
