Netanyahu has rejected a proposal that the Palestinian Authority rule Gaza after the war and insisted that Israel have full security control in Gaza.
On Monday night, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant spoke at a joint press conference in Tel Aviv with the US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin during which Gallant insisted there would be no timetable set for the war and Austin urged a two-state solution.
