Q: You control, according to the last estimate I saw, 60% of Gaza. Is the intention still to return all this?
Netanyahu: No. The intention at the moment is to make sure that the terrible attack that took place on October 7... does not happen again.
Q: But Mr. Prime Minister, that is not the question. The question is the 60% hold the Israeli army has inside Gaza. Is your intention today still to reach the point where all of this is returned to the Palestinians?
Netanyahu: No. My goal right now is to make sure that the Hamas terrorists who are still in Gaza... do not have the ability to carry out another attack.
