Palestinian Authority should take control of Gaza after war - Lapid

The Palestinian Authority must take control of the Gaza Strip following the war, but only under the watch of Israeli security forces, opposition head MK Yair Lapid told KAN Reshet B on Tuesday morning.

Lapid challenged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements to ABC overnight, saying that the only body that can take responsibility for the Strip after defeating Hamas is the PA. However, the Yesh Atid chairman did state that the IDF must have control over security in Gaza in the short term.
