Israel hasn't decided who will run Gaza, but IDF to run security - Gantz
"I do not know what it will be. But I do know what cannot be there – An active presence of Hamas with governance and military capabilities," Gantz told a closed press conference.

National Unity party leader and Minister-without-portfolio Benny Gantz on Wednesday said that the government has not decided who will run Gaza after the IDF topples Hamas, but that whoever it is, the IDF will need to maintain an extended security presence.

“Once the Gaza area is safe, and the northern area will be safe, and the Judea & Samaria region will calm down – we will [go] down and review an alternative mechanism for Gaza. I do not know what it will be. But I do know what cannot be there – An active presence of Hamas with governance and military capabilities," Gantz told a closed press conference.

Israel has not set a time limit for its current Gaza ground operation to root out Hamas, war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said on Wednesday. “On the question of the operation’s length, there are no limitations,” Gantz said, sitting down with reporters in Tel Aviv. The former defense minister and top military general said that the conflict, triggered by Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught that killed over 1,400 in Israel’s largest-ever mass casualty event, is existential — in terms of both Israeli security, and its “Zionist and democratic” values.
