US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has reaffirmed Washington’s opposition to any reoccupation of the Gaza Strip by Israel as well as any reduction of its size, AFP reports.

Blinken’s remarks were in response to a plan for post-conflict Gaza put forward by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which the Israeli army would have “indefinite freedom” to operate throughout Gaza.

“Gaza … cannot be a platform for terrorism. There should be no Israeli reoccupation of Gaza. The size of Gaza territory should not be reduced,” Blinken said in Buenos Aires where he was attending a G20 meeting of foreign ministers.
