Who Will Rule Gaza After the War? Ex-IDF Spokesman Sees Just One Option

JERUSALEM, Israel—If Hamas is dismantled and the war between Israel and the terrorist group comes to an end, Israel will need to step in and “rule Gaza” for a time, a former international spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces says.  

“I think in [an] interim period, Israel will apply a military occupation of it and rule Gaza to make sure that Hamas is indeed defeated, that there [are] no pockets of resistance and terrorism and guerrilla [warfare], etc.,” Jonathan Conricus, the ex-IDF spokesman, told The Daily Signal at the Jewish News Syndicate International Policy Summit in Jerusalem.
