The Palestinian movements Hamas, Islamic Jihad (a terrorist organization banned in Russia), and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) rejected the idea of foreign control over Gaza after the conflict ended. This was announced on October 10 by the Hamas press service.
“We also strongly reject any foreign control and affirm that determining the form of governance in the Gaza Strip and the foundations of its institutions is an internal Palestinian matter being decided jointly by the national constituents of our people,” the movement stated in a Telegram channel.
They also expressed willingness to accept assistance for rebuilding the Palestinian enclave.
“We are ready to take advantage of Arab and international participation in reconstruction, development, and rebuilding, which will ensure a decent life for our people and preserve their rights to their land,” they emphasized.
Israeli troops have left major cities in Gaza, sparking mass celebrations in the streets. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the Israeli army remains in the Gaza Strip to pressure the Palestinian Hamas movement until its disarmament is achieved. He also highlighted that Israel’s security requires fulfilling the war’s objectives, including eliminating the Iranian axis centered on Hamas.
