   former Norwegian chief of defence Sverre Diesen on Israel:

   so, as i understand it, he's picturing a scenario where Israel annexes Gaza and treats it like a province.

   Benjamin Netanyahu recently said that when the warfare stops, Israel will assume responsibility for security in Gaza. later, it was added that Israel isn't going to reoccupy Gaza, but demilitarise it. the US also thinks Israel can't reoccupy Gaza.

   somewhat mixed messages, if you ask me. how can you be responsible for the security of an area without occupying it?
