Israeli president Isaac Herzog said Israel cannot leave a vacuum in Gaza and would have to maintain a strong force there for the near future to prevent Hamas from re-emerging in the strip, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.
"If we pull back, then who will take over? We can't leave a vacuum. We have to think about what will be the mechanism; many ideas are thrown in the air," Herzog said in an interview with the FT.
"But no one will want to turn this place, Gaza, into a terror base again", he added.
