During the political-security cabinet meeting held tonight, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that a "model city" will be established on the side of the Yellow Line under Israeli control, and it will be demilitarized and rehabilitated. According to him, Gazans will be able to enter the place after screening, in order to separate Hamas from the uninvolved population. Many ministers opposed and interrupted Netanyahu's remarks, including Gila Gamliel, Orit Strock, Zeev Elkin and Miri Regev.
