Netanyahu: Israel will have "overall security responsibility" for Gaza for "indefinite period" after war ends
Israel will have the "overall security responsibility" in Gaza for an "indefinite period" after the war ends, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed in an interview that aired on ABC News on Monday.
SAEDNEWS: Gaza should be governed by “those who don’t want to continue the way of Hamas," Netanyahu said, before adding, "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.”

The prime minister also repeated that Israel will not allow a general ceasefire until all hostages are released by Hamas.

However, Netanyahu said he was open to short pauses to take place.

"As far as tactical little pauses, an hour here, an hour there. We've had them before, I suppose, we'll check the circumstances in order to enable goods, humanitarian goods to come in, or our hostages, individual hostages to leave. But I don't think there's going to be a general ceasefire," he said.

Netanyahu also addressed the role of Iran and Hezbollah in the conflict, cautioning them from getting more involved.

"I think they've understood that if they enter the war in a significant way, the response will be very, very powerful and I hope they don't make that mistake," Netanyahu told ABC (Source: CNN).
