Netanyahu: "We brought everyone back" by recovering "Guili's" body.. The next stage in Gaza is "disarmament" not "reconstruction"

The Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Monday, outlined the features of the next stage for dealing with the Gaza Strip after closing the file of detainees, unequivocally announcing that the top priority in the "second stage" will not be for reconstruction operations as the international community anticipates, but will be entirely focused on "disarming Hamas" and transforming the Strip into a completely demilitarized zone; to ensure no future threat.

Netanyahu's statements came after his official announcement of finding the body of "Ran Guili", the last of the detainees they were searching for in the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu said that the central goal now is to strip the Hamas movement and other factions in the Gaza Strip of their remaining military capabilities, and impose a new reality that makes Gaza a safe, demilitarized zone, before talking about any development or reconstruction plans.
