Israeli military analyst: Hamas has complete control over Gaza and Israel has no influence over
Israeli military analyst Yossi Yehoshua said on Friday that Israel has no influence over Hamas in Gaza, which has complete control over the Strip.
This came in an interview with channel i24 News, in which he said that “Hamas actually controls the Gaza Strip completely, whether by force or otherwise, and we don’t have any influence over it”.
He added, “Hamas controls Gaza, and it’s the one that determines whether or not there are violations on the Israeli side during the process of handing over the prisoners it’s holding from the Strip”.
Yehoshua ruled out the idea of voluntary displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, wondering how many of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip would accept this displacement?
Last Saturday, US President Donald Trump called in statements to reporters to transfer the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, citing the lack of habitable places in the Gaza Strip.
Egypt affirmed, in a statement by the Foreign Ministry, its rejection of any infringement on the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, whether through settlement or annexation of land, or by evacuating that land of its owners through displacement or encouraging the transfer or uprooting of Palestinians from their land, whether temporarily or long-term.
From his part, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi also stressed in a press conference on Sunday that Jordan’s rejection of displacement is constant and unchangeable and is necessary to achieve the stability and peace that we all want.
The United Nations also rejected the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, as its spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, said during a press conference on Monday, “We’ll be against any plan that leads to the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, or leads to any kind of ethnic cleansing”.
On Monday morning, tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians began returning from the south and center of the Strip to the Gaza and North Governorates from the Netzarim axis via the Rashid coastal road for pedestrians, and Salah al Din for vehicles after undergoing a security inspection.
