Netanyahu: Israel Is "Not Seeking to Occupy" Gaza

(CBS News) Caitlin Yilek - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told "CBS Evening News" on Thursday that in Gaza, "We want overall military responsibility to prevent the reemergence of terror. We're not seeking to occupy. That's not our goal. But our goal is to make sure what happens there is different. To do that we have to demilitarize Gaza and we have to deradicalize Gaza." "Just as you had to have a different future after the conquest of Germany, you deradicalize, denazify Germany. After the conquest of Japan, you make sure that the aggressive policies of Imperial Japan are different. There was a cultural change. We need a cultural change here. We can't have a civilian administration enter Gaza that will not fight terrorists, that is committed to funding terrorists as opposed to fighting terrorists." He said that liberating Palestinians from Hamas will "give them a real future....Let the Palestinians have all the powers to govern themselves, but none of the powers to threaten Israel."
