Netanyahu on Biden's Call to Avoid Occupation: We'll Have 'Overall Security Responsibility' for Gaza for 'Indefinite' Time

During a portion of an interview with ABC News aired on Monday's broadcast of "World News Tonight," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to President Joe Biden urging Israel to refrain from occupying Gaza and a question on how Gaza should be governed after the current conflict is over by stating that Gaza should be governed by people "who don't want to continue the way of Hamas." And "for an indefinite period," Israel "will have the overall security responsibility" for the area because we have seen that when Israel doesn't "have that security responsibility," there is "the eruption of Hamas terror on a scale that we couldn't imagine."
