Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his insistence that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will not be given control over the Gaza Strip on Wednesday in response to a report by Sky News Arabia that Abbas had expressed interest in doing so.
Sky News Arabia reported on Wednesday that Abbas had confirmed that the PA is ready to assume power in Gaza, citing Palestinian sources.
Netanyahu responded to the report by stating "as long as I am the prime minister of Israel - this will not happen."
"Those who educate their children for terrorism, finance terrorism and support terrorist families, will not be able to rule Gaza after eliminating Hamas," said Netanyahu.
