Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed in a speech late on 27 January that Tel Aviv will maintain “security control” of Gaza, while stressing that there will be no reconstruction until the resistance is disarmed.

“Israel will maintain security control over the entire area from the Jordan River to the sea, and that applies to the Gaza Strip as well,” Netanyahu said, while stressing that a Palestinian state “will not happen.”

“Now we are focusing on completing the two remaining missions: dismantling Hamas’s weapons and demilitarizing Gaza of arms and tunnels,” the premier said.
