Netanyahu Outlines Postwar Gaza Plan That Palestinians Say Means Occupation – WSJ

TEL AVIV Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined a blueprint for postwar Gaza that calls for it to be administered by local Palestinian officials free of links to militant groups and for Israel to conduct security operations in the strip indefinitely.

Most of the ideas have been publicly discussed by Netanyahu and other Israeli officials before and, though few new details were provided, the blueprint appears at odds in significant ways with both U.S. plans and those of Arab governments in the region. It was presented for the first time to Israel s security cabinet Thursday night.

Taken together, Netanyahu s ideas describe a demilitarized Gaza that would face a continued heavy Israeli security presence even after combat operations end, with a buffer zone off limits to Palestinians along Gaza s perimeter and Israeli control of the Egypt-Gaza border that would seek to seal off the strip in the south.

The plan underscores the wide gap between Netanyahu s government and the Biden administration, which has backed Israel s war goals in Gaza but warned repeatedly against making changes in its territorial boundaries. Its lack of specificity also leaves open the possibility that Netanyahu will move closer to Washington on key issues if Israel achieves its initial goals of defeating Hamas and bringing home an estimated 130 hostages.
