The statement did not use the term "occupation," rather using the term "takeover," due to legal ramifications for the civilian population, Ynet reported.

The Security Cabinet also adopted five principles for ending the war, namely disarming #Hamas, returning all hostages, both living and murdered, demilitarizing the #Gaza Strip, #Israel maintaining security control over the Gaza Strip, and the existence of civilian government that is not controlled by either Hamas or the #PalestinianAuthority
