The Israeli defense minister on Thursday said that Palestinians will be running civilian affairs in post-war Gaza, provided that “there will be no hostility” to Israel.
“Gaza residents are Palestinian, therefore Palestinian bodies will be in charge, with the condition that there will be no hostility to the State of Israel,” the Israeli Broadcasting Authority quoted Yoav Gallant as saying.
He added that Israel would not allow Hamas to run affairs of Gaza.
