Benjamin Netanyahu insists on "destruction" of Hamas as part of plan to end Gaza war
ai generated text
Israel's defense minister Yoav Gallant has stated that his country will not accept Hamas continuing to rule Gaza, and is instead examining alternatives. However, he did not elaborate on what these alternatives might be. This stance is likely a response to growing pressure from many Israelis for a new ceasefire deal, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu facing criticism.

At this point, Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out another Oct. 7.
It's time for this war to end, for the day after to begin.
Agreeing to such a deal is not total victory – but total defeat.
If he tries to continue, he will not find anything except the readiness of the Palestinians - all Palestinians - to resist the occupation.
We will isolate areas (in Gaza), remove Hamas operatives from these areas and introduce forces that will enable an alternative government to form - an alternative that threatens Hamas.
We will not accept the rule of Hamas in Gaza at any stage in any process aimed at ending the war.
While we conduct our important military actions, the defence establishment is simultaneously assessing a governing alternative to Hamas.
I remind Netanyahu that he has our safety net for a hostage deal.
When needed and when requested by the UN, we are prepared to contribute significant peacekeeping forces to maintain and monitor this prospective ceasefire as well as providing protection and security to all parties and to all sides.
At the same time, this is an agreement that would have to be reached through negotiations with Hamas, so, how do you do that? How do you eliminate them as a political force and at the same time reach a negotiated solution that is agreed upon by all parties.
I haven't heard of any local players that are brave enough to present themselves as an alternative to Hamas.
