Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel’s goal in its military operations in Gaza is not to permanently occupy or annex the territory, but to ensure its own security by achieving several key objectives.
See lessAccording to statements from Netanyahu and his government, these objectives include:
* Destroying Hamas: The primary goal is to dismantle Hamas, which Israel considers a terrorist organization, and eliminate its ability to threaten Israel.
* Releasing all hostages: Israel aims to secure the return of all hostages taken during the October 7 attack.
* Demilitarizing Gaza: The plan calls for the complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip to prevent future attacks.
* Establishing a security perimeter: Israel intends to maintain a security perimeter around Gaza, taking overall security responsibility for the area.
* **Establishing an alternative civilian government: Netanyahu has said that after Hamas is defeated, Israel wants to hand over civilian control to “Arab forces” or a non-Hamas, non-Palestinian Authority government that is willing to live in peace with Israel.
Netanyahu has clarified that while Israel intends to take military control of all of Gaza to achieve these goals, it does not want to govern the territory long-term. This plan has been met with both domestic and international criticism, with some observers expressing skepticism about the feasibility of a temporary occupation and the potential for a full annexation of the territory.
Egyptian analysts say that Netanyahu's position within Israel is steadily deteriorating, which is why he now wants to occupy Gaza as soon as possible.
