Yoav Gallant, Israeli Defence Minister stated that Israel is creating a governance alternative to Hamas in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip.
On Sunday, during a visit to the Israeli army’s Southern Command headquarters in the Negev desert city of Beer Sheba, Gallant stated that Israel would not allow Hamas to continue ruling Gaza as part of any peace agreement.
“We will isolate areas, eliminate Hamas personnel, and bring in other forces that will establish a different governing body”, Gallant continued.
Gallant went on to say, “The operation in Rafah is progressing above and below ground, with the forces destroying the ‘oxygen tube’ that connects the Gaza Strip to Egypt”.
“We are suffocating Hamas, not allowing it to continue to exist or to reinforce, strengthen, and arm itself”, Gallant added.
Furthermore, Gallant stated that the military operation aims to fulfill the war goals, which include the demise of the Hamas administration and military forces, as well as the release of Israeli hostages detained in Gaza.
