ISRAEL has revealed its plans for the Gaza Strip once it concludes invading the region, part of a “vision for phase three” in a document shared by Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.

The plan, submitted to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet this week, states that the civil administration of the Strip would pass to an undefined Israeli-guided Palestinian body, who would run it day-to-day, while Israel would keep “security control.”

Mr Gallant also outlined how Israeli forces would shift to a scaled-down “new combat approach” in northern Gaza while continuing to fight Hamas in the south of the territory “for as long as necessary.”

Israel would reserve the right to operate inside the territory, which means its forces would be able to come and go as they please.

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said any eventual arrangement must involve “a political solution for all of Palestine,” and not just Gaza.

“[Israel] wants to separate Gaza from the West Bank politically,” he told the Financial Times.

“I don’t think Israel is going to leave Gaza very soon. I think Israel is going to create its own civil administration that functions under the Israeli occupying army.

“And therefore the issue of the ‘day after’ is not clear yet.”

Israel has come under heavy international pressure to spell out a post-war vision, but has yet to do so.

Israel’s campaign in Gaza has killed more than 22,400 people — more than two-thirds of them women and children — according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-run territory.

Some 85 per cent of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been driven from their homes and squeezed into smaller enclaves.

Israel’s siege has caused a humanitarian crisis, with a quarter of the population starving through lack of supplies, according to the UN.

At the same time, air strikes and shelling across Gaza continue to destroy houses, burying families taking shelter inside.

An Israeli strike on Thursday flattened a home in Muwasi, a small rural strip on Gaza’s southern coastline that Israel’s military had declared a “safe zone.”

The blast killed at least 12 people, Palestinian hospital officials said.

The dead included a man and his wife, seven of their children and three other children ranging in age from five to 14, according to a list of the dead who arrived at Nasser Hospital in nearby Khan Younis.

There was no immediate response from Israel’s military.
