Maariv reveals a secret plan formulated by those close to Netanyahu for the next day of the Gaza war. Maariv indicated that the multi-stage plan is a trial balloon for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu had refrained from discussing plans for the “day after” the war, claiming that what was required of Israel was to focus on the war itself. The newspaper said that the first phase requires the establishment of a full Israeli military administration in Gaza, which will manage the transfer of humanitarian aid.
