During his meeting with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed his demands, which he described as 'non-negotiable,' foremost among them the disarmament of the Hamas movement and the dismantling of its military capabilities, along with the complete disarmament of the Gaza Strip. He stressed the necessity of completing all war objectives before embarking on any phase of reconstruction for the Strip.
Netanyahu unequivocally clarified that the Palestinian Authority would not be part of the administration of the Gaza Strip 'in any way,' which aligns with previous reports about his official objection to the use of the Palestinian Authority's emblem in the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (the Technocrat Committee).
He also informed Ambassador Huckabee of what he described as 'serious violations' uncovered in the Strip, claiming the use of UNRWA bags to conceal combat means, as part of the ongoing incitement campaign against the international agency.
Prior to Envoy Witkoff's meeting with a representative from Iran, Netanyahu emphasized his stance that Tehran has repeatedly proven that its commitments cannot be relied upon, in a clear indication of skepticism regarding any negotiation path that might result from the anticipated Istanbul meetings, coinciding with the implementation of the second phase of the American plan under the supervision of the 'Peace Council' headed by Donald Trump.
The Palestinian Authority will not be part of the administration of the Gaza Strip in any way.
