Israeli foreign minister: 'We don't want to govern Gaza'

Israel's foreign minister has said neither Hamas nor his country would govern Gaza when the current conflict comes to an end.

“We don’t want to govern Gaza," Eli Cohen said, according to the Wall Street Journal.

"We don’t want to run their lives. We just want to protect our people.”

He said that instead an international coalition comprised of the US, the European Union and Muslim majority countries, or local political leaders in Gaza, would take power.
