The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation published new leaks attributed to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, about relations with Washington and his expectations regarding “the next day” in the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian state.

Gallant in a leaked recording: There is no Palestinian state, and the Americans understand that. Gallant launches a sharp public attack on Netanyahu: Military rule in Gaza will be bloody and costly, and a difficult decision must be made.

Galant said in the leaked recordings during a meeting of Likud Party representatives in the Knesset, “The Americans now understand that the Palestinian Authority will not be in Gaza and there will be no Palestinian state,” considering that public American statements are not important, and he told the meeting: “Forget the statements. They understand that this is not practical, neither with this government nor with any other government, because Israel cannot afford that.”

Gallant added, "We are not prepared under any circumstances for Hamas to rule Gaza. As for Israel's civilian control of Gaza, it means that we need 4 divisions that the army must own in some way. Thousands of soldiers will pay with their lives over the years."

Gallant continued, "The main effort made by Israel in general, and in terms of security in particular, will go to Gaza, and worst of all, we will have to reduce our position in very important places."

Gallant launched a sharp public attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, considering that military rule in Gaza would be bloody and costly.

Netanyahu responded to Gallant by saying that the Palestinian Authority or any other entities will not rule the Gaza Strip.
