Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid on Tuesday said Egypt should control the Gaza Strip as part of his post-war plan for the enclave.
"Israel cannot agree to Hamas remaining in power,” he said.
“The Palestinian Authority is neither willing nor able to manage Gaza in the near future. Israeli occupation is neither desirable nor possible. A constant state of chaos is both a security threat and a humanitarian disaster," he added.
Lapid said he wants Egypt to control Gaza for eight years and potentially extend its control for 15 years.
