This marks the first time since Israel's 2005 withdrawal that a sitting Israeli PM has explicitly outlined a comprehensive plan for total military control of Gaza combined with transfer to Arab governance. The unprecedented aspect is Netanyahu's specific mention of a 'security perimeter' while simultaneously planning for external Arab administration - a hybrid model never previously proposed.
Netanyahu Reveals Total Gaza Control Plan in Fox News Interview
📰 What Happened
In a Fox News interview on August 7, Israeli PM Netanyahu revealed plans to take full military control of the Gaza Strip. While stating Israel doesn't want permanent occupation of the 26-mile territory, Netanyahu outlined a vision for a 'security perimeter' with governance transferred to Arab forces. He emphasized removing Hamas to 'liberate' both Israelis and Palestinians, stating 'We want to hand it over to Arab forces that will govern it properly without threatening us.'
📖 Prophetic Significance
Netanyahu's economic restructuring plan for Gaza creates conditions aligned with prophetic scenarios. The proposed 'security perimeter' combined with Arab administration suggests a new economic control system over the 26-mile territory. This aligns with Revelation 13's description of regional economic oversight systems. The plan to remove Hamas while enabling 'civilian governance' points toward the type of economic realignment described in Daniel 8:25 regarding peace through deception. The mention of 'liberating' two million Palestinians hints at the economic controls prophesied in Ezekiel 38:13 regarding merchandise and goods.
