Israel-Gaza War

Prime Minister Netanyahu gave an interview to CNN where he addressed the ICC Prosecutor's allegations that Israel was engaged in deliberate starvation of the population and also shed some light about his plans for the future of the Gaza Strip.

In response to the starvation allegations, Netanyahu noted that Israel allowed aid in from the very first day of the war, but Hamas stole it. He said Israel has done things no other army has done to avoid civilian casualties.

When asked about resettling Gaza, he said that he has no intention to allow it and that this was never part of the post-war plan. He noted that some of his voters don't like this, but he told them that's his approach.

Regarding the future of the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu expressed a preference for civilian control by the residents of Gaza with oversight by the Arab states. He noted that he does not support bringing in the Palestinian Authority which still helps terrorists and teaches children to hate Israel.
