Addressing a press conference, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeated his pledge that Israel will oust Hamas from power and take over security control, including by establishing a “security zone” on the border, Al Jazeera reports.

He put forward what he called “five principles for concluding the war”:

  • Hamas disarmed
  • All Israeli captives freed
  • Gaza demilitarised
  • Israeli overriding security control
  • Non-Israeli peaceful civil administration
