Responding to Israeli plans to occupy all of Gaza, US does not mention Palestinians
Asked for a response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to militarily occupy all of Gaza, US State Department deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott told reporters that the Trump administration has "three focuses," relating to Israel's security. They include "getting humanitarian aid into Gaza without it being looted by Hamas," ensuring "the hostages [are] released" and that "Hamas cannot continue to exist". He did not mention what would happen to Palestinians, or what US policy is toward nearly two million people in the enclave. "There could be no long term prosperity with Hamas as it as a governing force or otherwise within Gaza. So that's what our policy is. That's where our focus is... for further details on Israel's policy, I would refer you to the Government of Israel," Pigott said.

Netanyahu plan to take over all of Gaza 'clear reversal' of what Israel suggested in ceasefire negotiations, Hamas says
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks that he intends to militarily occupy the entirety of the Gaza Strip are the opposite of what Israel has indicated in ceasefire negotiations, Hamas said on Thursday. "Netanyahu's statements represent a clear reversal of the course of negotiations and clearly reveal the true motives behind his withdrawal from the final round [of talks], despite our close proximity to a final agreement," the group said in a statement following the broadcast of Netanyahu's interview with Fox News. "Netanyahu's plan is to continue his policy of genocide and displacement by committing more crimes against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip," Hamas said. "We call on Arab and Islamic countries and the international community to condemn and reject these dangerous statements, and to take urgent action to halt the aggression and end the occupation, enable our people to exercise their right to self-determination, and hold the enemy's leaders accountable for their ongoing crimes against our people in the Gaza Strip".
