Israel's Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, declared Israel's intention to maintain "complete freedom of action" in Gaza after the ongoing conflict with Hamas ends. He emphasized that Hamas, both as a military organization and a governing body, would cease to exist. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed the sentiment, stressing Israel's need for long-term security responsibility in Gaza. However, US President Joe Biden cautioned against reoccupation, emphasizing the importance of the Palestinian Authority and a path to a Palestinian state, urging for a comprehensive solution beyond eliminating Hamas. The conflict has resulted in over 1,400 deaths in Israel and more than 10,000 in Gaza.
