Israel has set out its plans for post-war Gaza, with Defence Minister Yoav Gallant announcing that neither Hamas nor Israel will rule the enclave in the future. 

Mr Gallant told reporters that “Gaza residents are Palestinian” and that therefore “Palestinians will be in charge” after the war. 

It will come with “the condition that there will be no hostile actions or threats against the State of Israel”, he added. 

Under the new  “four corner” plan, Israel’s war in Gaza will continue until Hamas is destroyed and the hostages taken on October 7 are returned. 

Israel will also retain overall security control of the enclave, Mr Gallant said, with a multi-national force charged with rebuilding the territory after the conflict.

The plans were unveiled on Thursday night ahead of a trip to the region by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. 

They come amid mounting international concern over the territory’s future and calls for an immediate ceasefire.
