Netanyahu Says Gaza Reconstruction Depends on Disarmament
Netanyahu has consistently cited Gaza’s disarmament as a precondition for implementing the second phase of US President Donald Trump’s plan for the enclave. On Monday, the Israeli army recovered Gvili’s remains after examining 250 bodies in a northern Gaza cemetery.
“We are now focused on achieving the two remaining objectives together: disarming Hamas and demilitarizing Gaza. There are only two options — the easy path or the hard path — and we will not allow the reconstruction of Gaza before it is disarmed,” Netanyahu said.
Regarding the Rafah border crossing, he stated, “We agreed to open the crossing for individuals only and in limited numbers, and everyone entering or leaving will be subject to Israeli inspection.”
Amid concerns of a potential US strike on Iran, Netanyahu warned, “If Iran makes a grave mistake and attacks Israel, we will respond with a force it has never seen before.”
Netanyahu also canceled a scheduled security briefing with opposition leader Yair Lapid on Iran and Gaza, citing a busy schedule, according to Israeli media reports.
