Ahead of cabinet meeting, Netanyahu says Israel will take control of Gaza

In an interview with Fox News, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel intends to take control of the entire Gaza Strip, but does not want to govern it.
His comments came on Thursday shortly before Israel’s cabinet meets to consider his proposal to take over the Strip.
Netanyahu said in the interview that Israel wants a security perimeter, and wants to hand Gaza over to Arab forces to govern the territory.

Al Jazeera’s Hoda Abdel-Hamid reports from Amman.
Gideon Levy, an Israeli journalist at local newspaper Haaretz, says the Israeli prime minister’s remarks about another governing body taking over Gaza are “far-fetched” and not realistic.
