For Netanyahu, there are four acceptable options for Gaza: 

1) keeping a weakened Hamas in power. 

2) Complete ethnic cleansing by pushing Palestinians to Egypt, but the Egyptians thwarted this.

3)replacing Hamas with thugs and clans but,  Gazans and Hamas prevented this. 

4) Arab countries taking over and installing Israel's puppet regim, however,  the Arabs rejected this. 

The one thing he did not want is to have a unified Palestinian government in Gaza and the West Bank. 

The one thing he made clear is his rejection of official Palestinian government control over the Gaza Strip.
