On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented his first official "day after" plan for the Gaza Strip once Israel’s war on Hamas ends, saying Israel will keep security control over all Palestinian areas and make reconstruction of Gaza dependent on its demilitarization.
The document proposes Israel would maintain security control over all land west of Jordan, including the occupied West Bank and Gaza — territories where the Palestinians hope to establish an independent state. It was swiftly dismissed by Palestinian officials as doomed to failure.
During a visit to Argentina on Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Israel's expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank “inconsistent” with international law and said the U.S. was “disappointed” in the announcement. “Our administration maintains a firm opposition to settlement expansion,” Blinken added.
In Lebanon, senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said Netanyahu's plan sought to fragment Palestinian lands and that it had “no basis in reality or any practical reflection.” During Friday prayers in Rafah, Gazan Nasser Attiyah said that the plan was “not new” and claimed that it “will fail.”
