More questions than answers as Israel's Netanyahu seeks security control over Gaza
It is not at all clear what that would mean, how it would work, or who would be in political control of Gaza in such a situation.
Only one thing has been stressed repeatedly - Hamas, the Islamist movement which launched a surprise attack on 7 October, must be destroyed. "Will there be a force that will prevent terrorism from emerging there? Will there be a Palestinian force that will build and govern Gaza the way it should for the people of Gaza, and not just to destroy Israel? That remains to be seen," he told US network NBC on Tuesday.
As the war has ground on, there have been calls from Western countries, including the United States, for a renewal of stalled efforts to agree a two-state solution, with an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, the outcome favoured by South Africa too. The PA used to run both Gaza and the West Bank, but was forcibly ousted from Gaza by Hamas in 2007, and now only governs sections of the West Bank, which is dotted with ever-growing Jewish settlements.
