Israel's plans for Gaza: Netanyahu seeks 'indefinite period' of control

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has again reiterated that Israel will not initiate a ceasefire.

He made the comments during a phone call with US President Joe Biden.

And long after the war-Netanyahu says his government plans to maintain a security presence in Gaza.

The prospect that Israel could again occupy Gaza after the war - in light of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's recent comments - is something that the administration of US President Joe Biden has opposed from the earliest days of the conflict, says Al Jazeera's senior political analyst Marwan Bishara.
