Biden administration opposes 'reoccupation' of Gaza Strip

The United States opposes an Israeli military “reoccupation” of the Gaza Strip after the Israel-Hamas war ends, a White House spokesman has said.

Biden believes “a reoccupation by Israeli forces of Gaza is not the right thing to do”, the White House national security spokesperson, John Kirby, told reporters on Tuesday.

The comments come after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that Israel will take the "overall security responsibility" in Gaza for an "indefinite period".
