Netanyahu To Fox News: Israel Will Take Control of Gaza to 'Liberate' People from Hamas
• The Gateway PunditIn an interview with Fox News' Bill Hemmer, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel plans to take military control of all of Gaza. He further noted that control will not be permanent and control will eventually be handed over to armed forces that will "govern it properly."
Hemmer: We sat down for about 25 minutes and we covered the range of topics that have been the news and the headlines over the past almost two years, including allegations about starvation and genocide. And most importantly for this Israeli government and the Israeli military, what are they going to do next?
Dana, they have reached a critical point in this war. They right now control 75% of the Gaza Strip. It's a 26-mile path there, okay? 25%, a quarter of Gaza has yet to be conquered. This is the critical decision that Benjamin Netanyahu is now weighing. And in our interview, just moments ago, he gave us a strong indication at the moment as to where he is leading.
