JERUSALEM, June 26 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s weekend announcement that heavy fighting in Gaza is winding down has sparked speculation about the next stage...

Home minister says eight nabbed for suspected terrorism a concern for spreading caliphate ideology, made police their No 1 target

Dostri said the first phase involved “extensive air and artillery strikes” targeting militant structures in Gaza for about two weeks. The second phase, now ending, featured “a ground manoeuvre into the Gaza Strip, deploying infantry, armoured vehicles and tanks”. Gallant criticised Netanyahu for failing to rule out an Israeli governance in post-war Gaza, but Dostri said the next phase of Israeli operations was “expected to continue for at least a few more years”.

Kobi Michael of the Institute for National Security Studies said he expects Israeli brigades from across the border to effectively control Gaza, “similar to the reality that we know in the West Bank for the last two years”.Dostri said Israel would “maintain military control over the Gaza Strip for the foreseeable future, with forces remaining present, albeit in reduced numbers, even if a hostage release deal is reached with Hamas”.

Michael expects a potential civil administration to be deployed over Gaza in phases — one governorate at a time starting with Rafah. But Israel would retain “freedom of action” in Gaza, he said. During their October 7 attack, Hamas militants abducted 251 hostages to Gaza, of whom 116 remain there, including 42 the military says are dead.
