Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted on Tuesday that there is a disagreement with US President Joe Biden regarding a “post-Hamas Gaza Strip”.
“Yes, there is a disagreement when it comes to ‘the day after Hamas’ and I hope we will reach an agreement here as well. I want to make my position clear: I will not allow Israel to repeat the mistake of Oslo,” Netanyahu said, referring to the Oslo accords with the Palestinians from the 1990s.
Biden said on Monday that he largely disagreed with Netanyahu on the post-war period in Gaza.
“Gaza will not be Hamas or Fatah,” Netanyahu said, referring to the two major Palestinian groups.
Netanyahu opposes US efforts to allow the Palestinian Authority to govern the Gaza Strip after the end of Israel’s ongoing war.
Washington maintains that there must be a Palestinian Authority or government in Gaza in the post-war period.
Israel launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip after Hamas attacks on Israeli border towns on October 7.
The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since then is 18,412, while 50,100 people have been injured.
According to official data, the number of dead Israelis is around 1,200, AA writes.
