Arab affairs commentator Zvi Yehezkeli sharply criticized today (Thursday) - in an interview with "Fatachi and Zimri Ba'am" on "Gale Yisrael" radio - Minister Yoav Galant's statement that Israel is prohibited from controlling the Gaza Strip.

""Galant's call to give the Palestinians control of Gaza is a delusion," said Yehezkeli.
""When I hear these things, I am left with my mouth open," added Yehezkely - and wondered: "Is it possible that the Minister of Defense, after everything we have been through here, knows something that I don't know about the Palestinian Authority?".
""It's so disconnected that I have nothing to say,",
He said, "The Gazans hear these things and ask themselves: Is he okay? Is this too good to be true? Is it true that they are giving us a victory like this?".
The failed defense minister demanded last night that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declare that Israel will not control the Gaza Strip and that a discussion be held regarding a governing alternative to Hamas - while aiming to grant the Palestinian Authority power in the Strip.
