Investing.com -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Thursday that Israel plans to take military control of the entire Gaza Strip, though the country does not intend to maintain a permanent governing presence in the territory.
In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu confirmed Israel’s intention to control the full 26-mile strip when directly asked about the matter.
"We intend to," Netanyahu said. "We don’t want to keep it. We want to have a security perimeter. We don’t want to govern it. We don’t want to be there as a governing body."
The Israeli leader indicated that while Israel aims to establish full military control over Gaza, the territory would eventually be handed over to armed forces that would "govern it properly."
