Netanyahu: Israel to take military control of all of Gaza, but ‘we don’t want to keep it’

PM says plan is to capture entire Strip, remove Hamas, hand it to non-PA ‘Arab forces’; adds Israel and US agree on principles for post-Hamas Gaza, including non-Israeli civil control

Asked in a Fox News interview if Israel will take over the entire 26-mile strip, Netanyahu said: “We intend to, in order to assure our security, remove Hamas there, enable the population to be free of Gaza (sic), and to pass it civilian governance.” But, he stressed, “We don’t want to keep it. We want to have a security perimeter, but we don’t want to govern it. We don’t want to be there as a governing body.”

The prime minister said that Israel wants to “hand it over to Arab forces that will govern it properly, without threatening us, and giving the Gazans a good life.”

Bullshit. Actions speak louder than words.

Exactly. On the surface it sounds like they’re being somewhat reasonable, but the reality of what they do when they’re in there is likely going to be different.

“Oops, we accidentally killed them all. I guess there’s no one left to govern, so we may as well have the land now.”

We just want to exterminate the people of Gaza and force the survivors out to Somalia or wherever and then woops a million fanatical Zionists move in

Being the governing body means having responsibilities towards the population. They want to erase the population, obviously they don’t want to be in control when that happens!

I assume he’s also about to make me a irresistible offer for a cheap bridge that just so happens to be up for grabs. Totally legit.

And yet there are multiple "businesses" selling Palestinian land to Israeli settlers. I don't know why you would bomb hospitals and raze people's homes and workplaces unless you intended to kill/forcibly displace everyone currently living there and redevelop for your own purposes.

Actually that’s a good business idea for some passive income. Some google maps Screenshots, a bit of translated text and you too can build a passive income scamming criminals.
