In the operational discussion I held today at the Southern Command, I emphasized that we will not at any stage accept Hamas as the entity that controls the Gaza Strip after the war.
We are working in the field and in other ways to dismantle his military and governmental capabilities – this is how we will achieve our goals and return our abductees.
According to the defense minister, Israel is ‘advancing an alternative’ to the terror group’s rule; troops find rocket launchers and arms near the Egyptian border; fighter jets strike 30+ targets across Gaza
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Sunday that Israel is working on finding a substitute for Hamas’ authority in the Gaza Strip, pledging that the war will not end until the terror group is stripped of both its military and governmental capacities.
Gallant’s comments come after US President Joe Biden on Friday announced what he termed as the most recent Israeli proposal for a hostage deal and ceasefire to end the Gaza war.
The US president’s speech sent shockwaves through the Israeli government, with far-right groups threatening to bring down the coalition if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attempted to get it approved.
The war cabinet met on Sunday evening to discuss the proposal and its potential implementation, amid international and domestic pressure to accept the deal aimed at ensuring the release of 121 hostages believed to be held by Hamas in Gaza since their kidnapping on Oct. 7.
Despite Netanyahu’s insistence that there will be no permanent ceasefire in Gaza until Hamas’ military and governing capabilities are destroyed, the leaders of the government’s 2 ultranationalist parties, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich of Religious Zionism and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir of Otzma Yehudit, both threatened Saturday night to bring down the government if the new deal is adopted.
War cabinet minister Benny Gantz has also issued an ultimatum to Netanyahu, demanding last month that the premier commit to an agreed-upon vision for the Gaza conflict, including determining who would rule the territory after Hamas’ defeat, and warning that he would leave the coalition if this did not occur by Jun. 8.
The deliberations occurred while the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued their campaign to root out Hamas in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah.
בדיון המבצעי שערכתי היום בפיקוד הדרום, הדגשתי כי לא נקבל בשום שלב את החמאס כגורם השולט ברצועת עזה לאחר המלחמה.
אנו פועלים בשטח ובדרכים נוספות כדי לפרק את יכולותיו הצבאיות והשלטוניות – כך נשיג את מטרותינו ונשיב את חטופינו. pic.twitter.com/zYcoEwjAqc
