\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled a plan for the Gaza\u2019s future post-Hamas, which includes the \u201ccomplete demilitarization\u201d of the enclave, closing off the territory\u2019s southern border with Egypt, as well as the overhaul of Gaza\u2019s civil administration and education systems. <\/p>\n

The plan comes as Israel sent a negotiating team, led by Mossad Director David Barnea, to Paris on Friday to pursue talks over a potential ceasefire and hostage release deal that may put an end to the four-month long war. <\/p>\n

More than 29,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war began, according to the ministry of health in the enclave. Hamas\u2019 October 7 attack killed 1,200 people in Israel, according to Israeli authorities. <\/p>\n

A number of principles are outlined in the document, from changes on the security and civil levels to more long-term plans about who governs the territory. <\/p>\n

On the security file, the envisioned plan includes Israel closing off Gaza\u2019s southern border with Egypt, giving Israel complete control of entry and exit from the enclave. At present, Egypt controls access to and from Gaza\u2019s southern border via the Rafah crossing. <\/p>\n

Netanyahu\u2019s plan says Israel will cooperate \u201cas much as possible\u201d with Egypt, in coordination with the United States. <\/p>\n

There has been no immediate official US reaction to the proposal. <\/p>\n

The plan asserts, as Netanyahu has said before, that \u201cIsrael will have security control over the entire area west of Jordan,\u201d which includes all of the West Bank and Israel, as well as Gaza. <\/p>\n

The Palestinians have long sought an independent state in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. <\/p>\n

Israel will be responsible for \u201crealizing and overseeing\u201d the demilitarization of the Strip, the plan says, except for what is required to maintain public order. <\/p>\n

On the civil level, Netanyahu details an overhaul of Gaza\u2019s civil administration and education systems, including an apparent cut-off of funding from Qatar to Gaza \u2013 which a previous Netanyahu government approved and facilitated. <\/p>\n

The local entities running the civil service \u201cwill not be identified with countries or entities that support terrorism and will not receive payment from them,\u201d the plan says. <\/p>\n

While it is likely a reference to Qatar, it is not clear if it would also apply to the Palestinian Authority, a revitalized version of which the US has said should run Gaza in the future. <\/p>\n

The Netanyahu plan also calls for \u201cde-radicalization\u201d in the education system, which Israel and its allies have long accused of promoting antisemitism and hatred of Israel. <\/p>\n

The plan repeats that Israel will work to shut down UNRWA, the main United Nations agency supporting Palestinian refugees,\u00a0and work to replace it \u201cwith responsible international aid agencies.\u201d <\/p>\n

Israel accuses about a dozen UNRWA employees of being directly involved in the October 7 Hamas attack. The agency employs about 13,000 people in Gaza. <\/p>\n

Finally, the plan reiterates Israel\u2019s insistence that it will not be forced by the international community to recognize a Palestinian state, a possibility the United Kingdom and US President Joe Biden have begun to float. <\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael outright rejects international dictates regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians,\u201d the Netanyahu outline says, asserting that recognition of a Palestinian state now would be \u201ca huge reward to unprecedented terrorism.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
