00:00 The White House cautioned Israel on Tuesday against reoccupying Gaza after Prime Minister
00:06 Benjamin Netanyahu suggested that Tel Aviv can consider to have the overall security
00:11 responsibility in Gaza for an indefinite period once the war is over.
00:17 "Our viewpoint is that Palestinians must be at the forefront of these decisions and Gaza
00:23 is Palestinian land and it will remain Palestinian land," State Department spokesperson Vedant
00:28 Patel said during a press conference.
00:30 "Generally speaking, we do not support the reoccupation of Gaza and neither does Israel.
00:35 Secretary of State Antony Blinken was fairly clear about that during his travels as well,"
00:40 he said.
00:41 White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby reiterated the U.S. opposition
00:48 to the reoccupation of post-war Gaza.
00:51 The president still believes that a reoccupation of Gaza by Israeli forces is not good.
00:56 It is not good for Israel, it is not good for the Israeli people," he said.
01:01 The White House's latest warning comes after Netanyahu on Monday said that Gaza should
01:06 be governed by those who don't want to continue the way of Hamas.
01:10 Before adding, "I think Israel will for an indefinite period have the overall security
01:14 responsibility because we have seen what happens when we don't have it."
01:19 This was one of the first hints Netanyahu has given about his vision for a post-war
01:23 Gaza and suggests a divergent view from that of the U.S., including U.S. President Joe
01:28 Biden's own statements about what the future of the Strip would look like.
01:32 U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken last week pushed the Israelis for a humanitarian
01:37 pause to allow hostages and civilians to leave Gaza and for aid for Palestinians to enter,
01:44 but was rebuked by Netanyahu.
01:46 Despite Blinken's forceful public message that civilians should not suffer the consequences
01:52 for Hamas' inhumanity and its brutality, Israeli forces continued to strike civilian
01:57 sites in the wake of the top U.S. diplomat's visit.
02:01 The forces claimed that the sites were being used by Hamas.
02:05 The Israeli military has bombed Gaza and is scaling up ground operations in response to
02:09 the October 7 attack by Hamas militants, who killed 1,400 people in Israel and seized around
02:14 240 hostages, according to Israeli authorities.
02:18 The Hamas royal health ministry has said the death toll in Gaza has surpassed 10,300 people.
