Netanyahu seeks collaborators in Gaza to help Israel tightens its grip

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government intends to identify Palestinian collaborators it considers willing to take over control in the Gaza Strip, a move critics view as an attempt to impose a compliant leadership under Israeli authority.

“There are Palestinians inside Gaza who are currently fighting Hamas. They say, ‘Enough of the dictatorship of terror.’ They want to control their own destiny, and I think we should give them a chance,” Netanyahu told New York Times journalist Andrew Sorkin.
