Israel doesn't want to 'keep' or 'govern' Gaza: Netanyahu

Israel does not seek to indefinitely control or govern Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday, contradicting reports that he would seek to occupy the Palestinian territory.

"We don't want to keep it. We want to have a security perimeter. We don't want to govern it," Netanyahu told Fox News.
