Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited IDF troops inside the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, declaring that Israel currently controls approximately 60% of the territory and has no intention of withdrawing from the Yellow Line.
“We control the territory. We are not withdrawing. We are staying on this line,” Netanyahu said. “We control 60% of the Strip, and there is more to come because we are eliminating the terrorists who threaten us, day after day.”
Netanyahu also addressed Israel’s capture of the head of Hamas’s internal security service, saying, “Yesterday we took the head of Hamas’s Shin Bet. We will certainly learn a few things.”
The prime minister said Israel remains committed to disarming Hamas and demilitarizing Gaza, declaring that the Strip will no longer be allowed to pose a threat to Israel.
“That goal has already been achieved to a large extent,” Netanyahu said. “There is still work to complete — and we will complete it.”
Netanyahu visited an IDF position near the Yellow Line alongside IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor and 99th Division commander Brig. Gen. Elad Tzuri.
During the visit, Netanyahu received an operational briefing on IDF activity along the Yellow Line, ongoing missions in the area and efforts to eliminate threats to Israeli troops and communities.

Certain things happen naturally. Put into perspective, the gazans now are in effect prison somethings better somethings worse but in effect it is a ethnic prison, if they crumble to Israel, it might get twice as good, at best.
So if you put 2 million Jews in a prison naturally there is somebody that will try to fight it, after sixty years
And also naturally they will hear it from Egypt and Jordan and Turkey and Syria about who exactly is the terrorists and who is the king and the boss here
America won’t veto the Palestinian state
