He affirmed that <b>Israel intends to take military control of the entire Gaza Strip<\/b>, but he added that <b>it does not plan to keep it<\/b> nor govern it permanently. This announcement signals a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict and raises numerous questions about the future of the region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">In an exclusive interview with <i>Fox News<\/i>, Netanyahu stated, &#8220;We intend to take control of the <b>42 kilometers long<\/b> Gaza enclave, but we don\u2019t want to keep it. We want to have a security perimeter. We don\u2019t want to govern it.&#8221; This distinction is crucial as it emphasizes Israel&#8217;s focus on security rather than territorial ambitions. His objective, as he articulated, is to <b>deliver Gaza to Arab forces<\/b> that can effectively govern it without posing a threat to Israel. He expressed hope for a future where the inhabitants of Gaza can lead a good life under stable governance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"visual__image\"><picture><source  media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 580px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 350px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 80px)\"\/><img alt=\"Gaza's future government\" class=\"global-image\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"low\" height=\"1280\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Netanyahu-stated-that-Israel-has-no-intention-of-annexing-Gaza.jpg\" width=\"1920\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"article-figcaption-img\">The future Gaza&#8217;s government after the war is not yet defined, according to Israeli Prime Minister<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">Earlier, during conversations with <i>CNN-NEWS18<\/i>, Netanyahu also dismissed the concept of a <b>Gaza Annexation<\/b>. He indicated that, after the ongoing conflict concludes, the enclave will be administered by a yet-to-be-defined <b>&#8220;transition government body.&#8221;<\/b> This notion of governance creates a path forward, albeit one that lacks clarity and certainty for Gazans and Israelis alike.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">Notably, the \u00a0central objectives\u00a0 outlined by Netanyahu remain: the <b>total dismantling of Hamas<\/b> and the <b>unconditional release of all hostages<\/b> still being held by the militant group. He was quoted saying, &#8220;The war could end tomorrow if Hamas lays down its weapons and releases the hostages.&#8221; This statement reflects an urgent call for action and resolution on both sides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">Meanwhile, the <b>Israel Security Cabinet<\/b> is set to convene to discuss a potential large-scale military occupation of Gaza in the coming days.

Zamir&#8217;s remarks come at a time of growing tension between the military and Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding the plans for full control of the Gaza Strip, a notion the military has categorically rejected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">Zamir stated, <b>\u201cWe have met and even exceeded the objectives of the operation<\/b>. We continue to act to guarantee long-term security for the communities of the south.\u201d His confidence in military capabilities reflects the prevailing sentiment within the armed forces, emphasizing their role in shaping security policy moving forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">Critically, Zamir pointed out that the military has <b>\u201cthe ability to create a new security reality next to the border\u201d<\/b>, while also indicating that the army will not limit its responses to threats.
