In an interview given on August 7 to Fox News, an American media outlet close to Donald Trump, Benyamin Netanyahu stated that he “wants to take control of the Gaza Strip”, notably “to ensure [its] security”. Nonetheless, he does not want to “govern” it or “keep” it. “We want to pass the baton to Arab forces who will govern properly without threatening us and offering a pleasant life to the inhabitants of Gaza. This is not possible with Hamas”, he adds.
