Tel Aviv: Israel's National Security Adviser Tzechi Honegbi said on Tuesday that Hamas is considering removing the government from northern Gaza and forming a simple government in Israel.
Speaking at the Herzliya Conference hosted by Raisman University, Honegbi said Hamas does not have enough military strength to govern. Therefore the opportunity to form a new government with local leadership is growing.
Along with this, he said that the new leadership of Gaza will also include members of the Abraham Accords. The USUN and the European Union will also be partners. Meanwhile, the Israeli army will clear the Hamas area.
We have been thinking about it every day for months.' And we are discussing what arrangements to make after Hamas leaves. However, it will take a lot of time to remove Hamas from there and form another normal government. But we are constantly working towards this.
Right now our Defense Secretary Yoav Galant is debating this in Washington. Leadership will be from the top down, not from the bottom up.
Observers are skeptical about these statements. One, the entry of non-Hamas Palestinians into the United States or the European Union. Admittedly this is not possible. Secondly, the Western powers are preparing a foot board under Israel's belt to reach the Sinai Peninsula by extending Israel to the southern part of the Eastern Mediterranean.
However, Hongebi also acknowledged that you cannot completely remove Hamas from there, because it is an idea. It is an approach.
It is worth noting that the US is constantly pressuring Israel to think about the governance of Gaza after the war. The Biden administration also says that Israel should not occupy the Gaza Strip, nor should it allow the region to turn into chaos.
On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel has three main goals behind this war. One is to break Hamas' military power and also break its rule, second is to release all the hostages and third is to ensure that Gaza never becomes a threat to Israel.
In an interview with the US Punch Bowl News, Netanyahu said he wanted the Gaza Strip to be overseen by a civilian government without a military after the war. Observers further say that this is all talk. Believing in the truth once the war stops. Everything else is talk.
