lower the temperature. it is a no one's interest, not israel's, not the regions, not the world's, for this conflict to spread beyond gaza, with the humanitarian situation in gaza, deteriorating the world can only watch and hope that that doesn't happen. and dw is tonya kramer is following events from jerusalem. i asked her for more on the defense ministers, postwar plan for gaza. yes, york go on to the defense minister, has presented his vision for what a post war cause i could look like that. but his office trust, again this would half is not official policy yet. this would have to go, of course, uh uh, through the smaller war, copying that and through the wide is secure to cabinet to become a policy. so he said that basically the war would continue until the old, the remaining is where the hostages are released. that are still in garza. and

until um, old military and governing capabilities of her mouth would be eliminated. but then he went more into detail, talking about the north of gauze, a 1000000 in military terms, saying that this uh, there would be a new com but approach mainly it ground and especially operations. it's not quite clear what this entails, how much it will be different from what we're seeing right now, but, of course, uh, the focus right now, it's not just in the north of casa of this world, but also mainly now in the south. you'll so talked about a post more dos, are the cheap ones to see a local published engines running a guy. so he didn't specify which entities he's talking about. and he also said that there would be no, is rarely civilian presents basically no, a settlements in gaza. and on that particular point, tanya,

i'd just like to ask you because you know, cannot be believed. the fact that he says there will be no civilian presence in gaza because that's at odds with other members of the cabinet. well, i think it's too early to tell because uh, there is no official plan yet. uh that you know, uh from the, uh, is really government. they are holding a meetings about that and be heard at least 2 of the ministers of the far right of finance minister a bit. so let's move which for example, he talked about that he wants to see is where the settlers returning to gaza. he also heard a similar comments from you to him up and we're the minister for a fall right minister for the national security. they also went as far as saying that they would like to see post students encouraged as they put it to move out from gaza. and this is of course with many palestinians uh, uh,
