Jerusalem will “soon” roll out a plan to replace Hamas governance in northern Gaza, Israeli National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi said on Tuesday. Speaking at Reichman University’s annual Herzliya Conference, Hanegbi said that the collapse of Hamas’s military ability to rule will open opportunities “for countries that want to see a governing alternative to Hamas in Gaza, with local leadership in Gaza, to join this process.”
He explained that Gaza’s new leadership will include Israel’s Abraham Accords partners, the United States, the European Union and the United Nations, while the Israeli military continues “cleansing the area” of Hamas’s presence.
