In his plan for the post-conflict administration of the Gaza Strip, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has said that “Palestinian bodies” would be controlling the enclave on the condition of no threats against Israel.

“Gaza residents are Palestinian, therefore Palestinian bodies will be in charge, with the condition that there will be no hostile actions or threats against the State of Israel,” Gallant’s outline says.

“The entity controlling the territory will build on the capabilities of the existing administrative mechanism (civil committees) in Gaza,” it adds.
