Foreign Minister Yair Lapid presents a “new vision” for Israel’s relations with the Gaza Strip, saying that Israel “must move toward a multi-year process in Gaza, of economy in return for security.”
Speaking at the Reichman University’s Institute for Counter-Terrorism Policy conference, Lapid says that the aim of such a move is “to create stability on both sides of the border.”
“This is not a proposal for negotiations with Hamas. Israel will not award prizes to a terrorist organization and weaken the [Palestinian] Authority that works with us on a regular basis.”
