Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed four points concerning the day after the war on Gaza, denying reports of Tel Aviv’s policy of starving Palestinians in Gaza as lies.
Netanyahu stated that Tel Aviv would need to achieve complete and sustainable disarmament in Gaza, according to the American news website Punchbowl. His statements indicated that he would continue the war on Gaza without a plan for “the day after,” rejecting any political agreement to end the war.
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari asserted that it is unrealistic to claim there would be no terrorism, rockets, or weapons in Gaza, emphasizing that Hamas is an entrenched ideology. He suggested that talking about destroying Hamas without offering an alternative is misleading the public.
Regarding the “day after,” Netanyahu mentioned the need for civilian administration to manage not only humanitarian aid distribution but also civil governance, proposing cooperation with Arab nations. He highlighted the necessity of de-radicalization efforts in schools and mosques and the importance of reconstruction, which he believes the international community would largely handle.
Netanyahu dismissed international, especially American, and UN reports on the starvation policy in Gaza as false, claiming that since the war began, 25,000 trucks carrying half a million tons of food and medicine had entered Gaza. He asserted this provided 3,200 calories per person, exceeding the required amount. However, official reports indicate a need for 500 trucks daily, while Netanyahu claimed an average of only 98 trucks per day.
