He told ABC's David Muir Israel would oversee Gaza for 'an indefinite period.'
On Monday, Netanyahu, in his first U.S. media interview since the conflict erupted following the deadly Hamas terror attack on Oct. 7, was asked by Muir who should control Gaza when the conflict ends.
ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Selina Wang pressed National Security Council spokesman John Kirby on the apparent differences between what the U.S. and Israel see as the future of Gaza. Kirby followed that statement by highlighting a clear area of agreement between the U.S. and Israel: that Hamas be removed completely from the territory.
"One month in it's good for everybody to take a knee, take a pause, and remember the scope of the suffering here and the terrible images many of us have seen coming out of both Israel and Gaza," Kirby said.
