Defense Minister Says Israel Won’t Assert Civil Control Over Gaza Post-War, In Bow To US Pressure:

Israel’s defense minister Yoav Gallant on Friday published and circulated a document laying out the military’s “vision for Phase 3” of the Gaza war, which ostensibly lays out a new scaled-down, more targeted approach for operations in the Gaza Strip.

However, Gallant made clear the contents of the plan are not yet official Israeli policy, only that these are his ideas. “In the northern region of the Gaza strip, we will transition to a new combat approach in accordance with military achievements on the ground,” Gallant’s office said of the policy proposal.

Operations will continue to focus on raids, demolishing tunnels, air and ground strikes, as well special forces operations in the north – even including all of these tactics apparently also continuing in the south, which will go on “for as long as is deemed necessary” until Hamas is eradicated and the hostages are freed.
