For Benyamin Netanyahu, “the place where it started is also the place where it will end: in Gaza”

Regarding the army plan to take control of Gaza, Mr. Netanyahu said that Israel would first allow the population to leave before the entrance to the army. The city of Gaza, located in the center of the territory, is the last bastion of Hamas, he said.
Netanyahu also said that residents should be allowed to leave the Gaza Strip if they wish. He added that countries wishing to help Palestinians must “Open their doors”.
