  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that neither Hamas nor Israel will govern Gaza after hostilities there conclude. However, this statement contradicts the rest of the article which clearly states that Israel would reserve its right to operate inside the territory and there would be no Israeli civilian presence in Gaza after hostilities have been achieved. Secondly, the author claims that local Palestinian bodies will assume governance of Gaza after hostilities are over. However, this statement is also contradicted by other parts of the article which state that Israel's war in the territory will continue until it has secured the return of its hostages and dismantled Hamas' military and governing capabilities. Finally, there is no mention or reference to any sources quoted in this article.

  • Fallacies (70%)
    The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the plan was presented to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's war cabinet without providing any evidence of their approval or rejection of the plan. Additionally, the author quotes National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich as calling for Israeli settlers to return to Gaza after the war and for a solution that encourages emigration from Gaza's Palestinian population without providing any evidence of their support or opposition by other members of Netanyahu's cabinet. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when stating that Hamas will not control Gaza after hostilities, which could be seen as inciting violence against the organization and its supporters.

  • Bias (85%)
    The article is biased towards Israel's position in the conflict with Hamas. The author presents a one-sided view of events and uses language that dehumanizes Palestinians by referring to them as 'hostages'. Additionally, the use of phrases such as 'Hamas will not control Gaza and will not pose a security threat to the citizens of Israel' perpetuates an anti-Palestinian narrative. The article also presents Israeli settlers returning to the territory after the war as a solution for Palestinians in Gaza, which is problematic given that it ignores their right to self-determination and displacement.

                The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article suggests that Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has outlined plans for Gaza after war when in fact he only discussed his plan for governance of Gaza once the war between Israel and Hamas is over. Secondly, there are multiple instances where quotes from sources such as Mr Gallant and a health ministry official are used to present information that contradicts each other. For example, while Mr Gallant states that Palestinians would be responsible for running the territory with no hostile actions or threats against Israel, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza claims 14 people were killed by Israeli air strikes in al-Mawasi which is a direct threat to Israel. Thirdly, there are instances where quotes from sources such as Mr Gallant and an IDF spokesperson contradict each other on what actions will be taken next phase of the war in Gaza.

In fact, the article suggests that he may be trying to put his personal plan before others in Netanyahu's coalition government. Finally, while it is true that Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas after its Oct 7 attack and much of northern Gaza has been flattened beyond recognition, there is no indication that this destruction was necessary or effective in achieving the stated goal of eliminating Hamas military and government capabilities.
