On October 17, 2024, Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced new strategies for its military campaign in Gaza. The focus will shift towards a targeted operation in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. This change aims to combine airstrikes, ground operations, tunnel demolition, and specialized raids to weaken Hamas’ capabilities. The campaign’s continuation is tied to key objectives: the release of hostages, dismantling Hamas, and neutralizing remaining threats.

Gallant’s plan includes a post-war phase where Hamas will no longer govern Gaza. Instead, local Palestinian entities, with international cooperation, may take over civil governance. Notably, the plan rules out any permanent Israeli civilian presence in Gaza, although Israel reserves the right to conduct military operations if necessary. Discussions are ongoing with the United States and regional allies regarding Gaza’s future administration once the military goals are achieved.

Amid growing international pressure for de-escalation, including from the U.S., Israel has agreed to let humanitarian aid into Gaza. However, the conflict remains intense, with ongoing cross-border attacks involving Hezbollah in Lebanon

Following the military phase, the plan envisions a post-conflict governance model where Hamas will no longer control Gaza. Instead, local Palestinian entities, potentially backed by the Palestinian Authority and international forces, will manage civil affairs. Gallant’s plan rules out any permanent Israeli civilian presence in Gaza, although Israel will retain the right to intervene militarily when needed. The U.S. is reportedly working with Israel and regional partners to determine Gaza’s post-war governance structure, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveling to the region for further talks on aid and diplomacy​
