Israel National News reports: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday visited the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in Kiryat Gat.

Netanyahu spoke with CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper and with General Patrick Frank, and was impressed by the joint Israeli-American effort to advance and implement President Trump’s framework.

‘I am pleased to host our American friends here in Kiryat Gat. They are working together with us on a plan to achieve a different Gaza, a Gaza that will no longer pose a threat to Israel,’ said the Prime Minister.

‘The first component, of course, is security, and the security responsibility for maintaining our forces and our freedom of action. This is an accepted matter, and we are doing it. It is important; it is a fundamental component,’ he added.

‘In the same measure,’ continued Netanyahu, ‘we want to bring it about that in the end, the goal that President Trump and we agreed on – the disarming of Hamas and the demilitarization of Gaza – will be achieved. We are working on this in stages, together with other components of the plan.’…”
