⚡️Minister and Cabinet member Miri Regev, in an interview with Kan Channel:

It is perfectly clear that there will be no Qatari or Turkish soldiers in Gaza, but we must remember that. Ultimately, our mission is very clear: first, to bring Ran Goli home to Israel; second, to demilitarize the Gaza Strip; and third, to disarm Hamas.

There is complete understanding between President Trump and the Prime Minister that this is what will happen in Gaza, and I say again, we will change Gaza, as we said on October 7th.

Gaza will not remain as it is today. This will happen through what we agreed upon. Twenty points were agreed upon with President Trump. It was agreed that in areas where the IDF is not present, all those areas will be demilitarized. Hamas will be disarmed. This is not just theory; it will happen, and President Trump is currently working on it.

I say again, no one believed that we would bring back all the hostages. Unfortunately, with God's help, they were brought back, and with God's help, Ran will also be brought home.

The events of October 7th were horrific, a profound catastrophe, a failure. Therefore, we are working with a commission of inquiry to examine this entire matter with complete transparency.

I want to tell you something: what is happening in Gaza is a reality no one imagined we would reach. The reality in Gaza today is changing, and it will never return to the way it was.

Regarding Qatar and Turkey, President Trump did not coordinate with the Prime Minister and made a decision contrary to the Prime Minister's position, who repeatedly explained his very clear stance that Qatar and Turkey cannot be part of the reconstruction of Gaza. We made it abundantly clear that Turkish and Qatari soldiers will not be in Gaza, nor will they be part of the force supposedly tasked with rebuilding Gaza.

The reconstruction of Gaza cannot be accomplished in a single day, and the disarmament of the Strip cannot be achieved in a single day. We said we would change the reality in Gaza, and that is what is happening.
