Netanyahu lays out goals for Gaza: Hamas eliminated, hostages released
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discusses the ongoing conflict with Hamas, the food crisis in Gaza as Israel intends to take control of the region, efforts to secure the release of the remaining hostages and more.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed his plans for Israel to take full control of the Gaza Strip, marking a major shift in policy nearly two decades after Israel withdrew from the region.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Bill Hemmer, Netanyahu said the move is aimed at eliminating Hamas and eventually transferring governance to Arab authorities.
"We want to liberate ourselves and liberate the people of Gaza from the awful terror of Hamas," said Netanyahu.
"In order to assure our security, remove Hamas there, enable the population to be free of Gaza and to pass it to civilian governance."

While Netanyahu insisted Israel is not planning to occupy Gaza for the long term, he emphasized the need for a lasting security presence and the dismantling of Hamas.
"The only way that you're [going to] have a different future is to get rid of this neo-Nazi army. The Hamas are monsters," he said.
Nearly two years after the October 7th terror attacks, about 50 hostages, both dead and alive, remain trapped in Gaza.

Netanyahu’s plans come as ceasefire negotiations with Hamas have stalled in recent weeks. U.S. special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff has previously expressed optimism about talks, but progress has since stalled.
Israel’s security cabinet is set to meet Thursday to discuss the future of the war and the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza. The United Nations and other international groups have warned of famine and deteriorating access to necessary supplies in the region.

Earlier this week, Hemmer visited a food distribution center run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S. and Israeli-backed aid organization. Despite clear logistical issues, Hemmer reported that thousands of people received food at the site.
"What you saw today was controlled. Certainly, these are desperate people who are fighting for food, fighting for their lives, and are living in a war zone," said Chapin Fay, a spokesperson for the GHF.

"This is the most complex humanitarian crisis of our lifetime, and we have to stop pretending that there's only one way to deliver aid to the people in Gaza."
The United Nations Human Rights Council has called for the GHF’s "immediate dismantling," as some human rights groups have accused the organization of firing on civilians and committing war crimes.
The GHF denied the allegations.
