Israel Requires Security Control over All Territory West of the Jordan River
(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - After an IDF briefing to the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "We are on the way to victory....It is within reach. It is a difficult battle, but one we are winning. We want, in effect, to bring about the demilitarization of Gaza. This requires our security control and our comprehensive security responsibility over all territory west of the Jordan River, including Gaza. There is no alternative to this in the foreseeable future." "We are also saying this to the international community, and to the President of the U.S., and to all leaders. There is no alternative to this. This is to say, security control will always be ours, and if this requires a presence inside, then there will be a presence inside. If it requires that we be able to go in anywhere...at any time, this will be...the case in the future."
