The Israeli government has said it is too early to predict scenarios for governance of the Gaza Strip after it ousts Hamas, but it’s already discussing the prospect internationally, AFP reports.

“It is still very premature to talk about the ‘day after’ Hamas scenarios,” said government spokesman Eylon Levy.

“I wish the ‘day after’ Hamas were next week, but this is probably going to take longer.” “We’re exploring several contingencies together with our international partners for what the ‘day after’ will look like,” he said.

But the “common denominator” is that the Gaza Strip will be “demilitarised” and “must never again” become a “terror nest”, he said.
