This is a

this CBS I on the world. I'm John Besser with my colleague and friend Malcolm

online conference, the President's major American Jewish organizations, and it's a great privilege to welcome

Khalid Abutoma who is the Jerusalem Post correspondent also at the Gatestone Institute in New York, a senior distinguished fellow to help me understand

a headline in the Wall Street Journal in these last hours.

Kalida, very good evening to you, Israelis, writes the headline Israeli's craft secret plan to put

anti-Hamais Palestinians in charge of Gaza aid the effort faces vehement opposition from

Hamas while also dividing Israel's

leadership. Anti-Hamas Palestinians. I was unaware that such an organization

exists. Good evening to you Khalid. Good evening to you, Khalid.

Good evening.

Thank you, John, for having me.

I mean, first of all, let me please start by correcting you.

I mean, I was Jerusalem Post a correspondent until recently. Now I'm, you know, continuing to work as a correspondent,

but in other places.

So yes, I saw that headline, that a new story you are talking about, that you know, that Israel wants some anti-Hamass Palestinians in Gaza.

Actually, we've been hearing similar reports in the past few weeks

about the possibility of recruiting clans, large families in the Gaza Strip, that are not affiliated with Hamas to take control of Gaza.

Now, you know, all these ideas sound very nice and they're very good and I'm sure that

you know many people would love to see someone replace Hamas, but that cannot happen as long as you have not eradicated Hamas,

as long as you have not removed Hamas from power.

No Palestinian in the Gaza Strip will work with Israel or with the U.S.
