Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant unveils a plan suggesting Israel retains security control over Gaza after defeating Hamas. The proposal envisions day-to-day administration by a Palestinian body, guided by Israel, while the US, EU, and regional partners oversee reconstruction. Gallant's conditions include freeing hostages and dismantling Hamas capabilities. Notably different from the US-supported idea of the Palestinian Authority taking control, Israel reserves operational rights within Gaza but ensures no civilian presence post-war objectives. Talks with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expected to address the plan and humanitarian concerns in the region.
