Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed in an interview with Fox News that Israel does not want to rule the Strip, but that it does intend to.
His remarks came on Thursday, just before Israel’s cabinet met to discuss his plan to occupy the Strip.
“We intend to take over] to ensure our security, remove Hamas from] there, allow the population to be free of Gaza, and transfer it to civilian governance that is not Hamas, and not anyone who supports the destruction of Israel,” he said.
He claimed in the interview that Israel wants to give the armed forces control over Gaza and that it does want a security perimeter.
We are not interested in keeping it. A security perimeter is what we want. We oppose having a government in it. We oppose serving as the body’s governing body.
Meat Loaf, a singer and actor, first gained notoriety in 1968 and remained so until his passing in 2022, but fans are only now understanding what his name means.

Fans still have no idea where Meat Loaf came from or what its significance is despite having been a well-known musician and actor for more than 60 years.
The American-born singer first released music with his band, Meat Loaf Soul, who had their first performance in California in 1968. At the same time, the singer also started his acting career, with the singer mainly starring in different musicals. Throughout his career, Meat Loaf released 12 studio albums, which included hit songs like ‘I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)’, ‘Paradise by the Dashboard Light’.
After having sold sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time, the singer died at age 74 in January 2022. While no official cause of death was released, he was reportedly sick with COVID-19 earlier that same month.
The performer, who was born Marvin Lee Aday and later referred to as Michael Lee Aday, was known by his unique stage name. What does the name mean and where did it come from, though?
Taking to Reddit’s Today I Learned forum, one user was eager to reveal the supposed origin of the singer’s name.
When he was born, his father thought he was “nine and a half pounds of ground chuck,” according to the singer Meat Loaf (born Marvin Lee Aday), and gave him the nickname “Meat” (Til). The players and coaches changed the name to “Meat Loaf” years later when he was a heavyset teenage football player.
Over the years, Meat Loaf offered various explanations for his moniker and even told The Guardian in 2003 that “names and ages piss me off. So I just continually lie.”
Meat Loaf appears to have started using the nickname years before his music and acting career even started, despite the name’s constantly changing origin story.
Meat Loaf claimed he got the first half of his name from his father shortly after he was born. The musician said on Oprah Winfrey’s Where Are They Now series in 2016 that he was “born bright red,” explaining that his father told the hospital to put a “Meat” tag in front of his crib because he “looked like nine-and-a-half pounds of ground chuck” as a newborn.
When Meat Loaf “stepped on a coach’s foot and he screamed, “Get off my foot, you hunk of meatloaf! “, he told Winfrey, in eighth grade, that he had received the “Loaf” half of his nickname.
However, the singer made a different interpretation of the tale available to the public in 1978. He claimed at the time that his name was influenced by his size while attending Dallas University. The rocker claimed he has never been weighed below 185 pounds.

He also spun another tale about his name’s origins, according to The New York Times, which reports that the artist also claimed an incident with a Volkswagen was responsible for his nickname.
With Australia winning the series by 5-0, Glenn McGrath predicts England will be whitewashed in the Ashes in 2025-26.
The former Australia bowler, a six-time Ashes champion, consistently makes this prediction and did so prior to the 2023 series, which ended with a 2-2 draw, with the visitors still holding the urn.
England hasn’t won an Ashes series since 2010-11, drawing two and losing two, and hasn’t won a series there since 2010.
“It’s very uncommon for me to make predictions, isn’t it?” And I’m unable to change it, making it 5-0,” McGrath told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“With our team, I have a lot of confidence. It’s going to be pretty difficult when Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon all start firing in their own homes.
What data are gathered from this quiz?
Root and Brook are crucial to England’s chances.

England’s last two Tests on home soil were in 2021-22, when Australia won 4-0, and Cummins’ side have only lost one of their past 15 Tests, winning 11 and drawing one.
McGrath acknowledged that “issues” exist with Australia’s batting, particularly their troubled top three. Sam Konstas has yet to claim his spot as the retired David Warner’s replacement because of Usman Khawaja, Cameron Green, and Marnus Labuschagne’s form.
However, McGrath says the key battle will be between the tourists’ top seven and Australian bowlers, with Joe Root and Harry Brook as two players to watch as England’s bowling attack also needs to “stack a little bit” to “strengthen a little.”
This series will be significant to Root, McGrath declared. He’ll be eager to go out there because he’s never really done that well in Australia, scoring only 100 out of 100. He is performing well.
Joe Root has made 892 Test starts in Australia, including nine in the fifties, but he has yet to reach 100.
His career average was 51.29, and he had the lowest score of 89, which is a 35.68 down under.
I’ve enjoyed watching “Brook,” and I added McGrath. He simply goes out and plays his game before going on. He will need to be on his guard pretty soon, according to the Australians.
Ben Duckett is a very aggressive opener. Zak Crawley wants to add a few more runs to his already-high total.
“It’s England’s top order or top and middle order against Australia’s fast bowlers and Lyon.” It will be a significant match-up.
Under head coach Brendon McCullum, England have won 25 of their 41 Test matches, but they have yet to win a five-match series, with India drawing one point at the end of the series.
Under McCullum, McGrath, 55, was enthralled by England’s style, but he vowed to make them more mentally “stuck on.”
He said, “I adore it when sportspeople play there without fear.”
Baz wants to make this England team play without fear because of that.
Following disciplinary proceedings against the German international, Barcelona have removed Marc-Andre ter Stegen from the club captain.
The 33-year-old had a back operation at the end of July, which was his last performance since June when he turned out for his country.
