WASHINGTON, NOV 8: “What I’ve heard from Israeli leaders is that they have no intent to reoccupy Gaza,” says US official. US Secretary of State Antony Blinked has said that it is clear that Israel cannot “occupy” Gaza after the war.
The comments from the top US diplomat came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement that they could manage Gaza’s security for an “indefinite period”.
“Now, the reality is that there may be a need for some transition period at the end of the conflict, but it is imperative that the Palestinian people be central to governance in Gaza and the West Bank as well, and again, we don’t see a reoccupation,” Blinken told reporters.
“What I’ve heard from Israeli leaders is that they have no intent to reoccupy Gaza.”
