In a sign of backtracking the high ambitions he set in the beginning of the ‘Israeli’ war on Gaza, Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly stated for the first time that ‘Israel’ does not seek to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, after a growing number of regional leaders expressed fears that this was the ‘Tel-Aviv’ regime’s ulterior motive.

“We don’t seek to displace anyone,” Netanyahu told Fox News in an interview on Thursday night.

“What we’re trying to do is get the Gazans in the northern part of the Gaza Strip where the fighting has taken place to move one to four miles south where we have established a safe zone,” Netanyahu claimed.

He also provided new details regarding his regime’s vision for what Gaza will look like after the war. “We don’t seek to conquer Gaza. We don’t seek to occupy Gaza. And we don’t seek to govern Gaza,” according to the Zionist PM. Still, he did not fall fully in line with US President Joe Biden’s administration, which has expressed its desire for the Palestinian Authority to return to govern Gaza.

The Thursday interview is the second Netanyahu has given to American media this week, after he avoided any interviews for much of the first month after Hamas’s October 7 surprise operation in the ‘Israeli’-occupied Palestinian territories.

During the interview, he also confirmed that ‘Israel’ has agreed to implement pauses in ‘Israeli’ military attacks in specific areas of northern Gaza to allow Palestinian civilians to evacuate.

Netanyahu continued to avoid using the “humanitarian pause” term being employed by the Biden administration, in an apparent effort to downplay concessions seen as less palatable to many ‘Israelis’, as long as Hamas continues to hold some 240 Zionist captives.
