Senior right-wing Israeli official outlines ‘boundaries’ for Netanyahu regarding Gaza

Right-wing Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich presented six conditions to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday before the latter’s negotiations regarding a Gaza ceasefire with President Donald Trump at the White House.

Smotrich leads the Religious Zionism party, which has seven seats in the parliament and is part of Netanyahu’s government. Although he wished the prime minister “much success” in a Monday post on X, Smotrich also stated that his party “will not give in” on important demands.

The finance minister stated, “Israel’s security is not secured by political agreements that are worthless or by promises and assurances that lack any real substance.”

Smotrich insisted that Netanyahu guarantee “a genuine and total withdrawal of Hamas from Gaza and a complete and authentic disarming of all terrorist structures, both above and below ground.”

The Israeli Defense Forces, he stated, must “permanently” be stationed at the borders surrounding Gaza and in the Philadelphi Corridor, which extends along the southern edge of the strip near Egypt, while maintaining complete operational control throughout the area.

Smotrich insisted there should be no deal involving the Palestinian Authority or Qatar’s role in governing Gaza, nor any measures that endorse the idea of a future independent Palestinian state.

The official stated that Palestinians in Gaza who wish to depart the area should be permitted to do so via Egypt to “resume their lives in other locations that are willing to welcome them.”

Smotrich also encouraged Netanyahu to “take advantage of the historic chance” to “politically and practically” solidify Israeli control over the occupied Palestinian West Bank.
