Israeli defence minister says Israel will resume Gaza war and force out Palestinians
Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, said Israel will resume full-scale war in Gaza and move to force out its two million Palestinians, adding that 70 percent of Gaza has already been emptied of its population. He made the remarks while responding to criticism from a right-wing rival before October 27 elections.
Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, said on Wednesday that it was only a matter of time before Israel resumes full-scale war in Gaza and moves to force out its two million Palestinians. He said 70 percent of Gaza had already been emptied of its population during the Israeli offensive launched after the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas.
Katz was responding to criticism from another right-wing contender ahead of October 27 elections. He said an October 2025 ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump had “supreme value for all Israelis” by leading to the return of remaining hostages and ensuring “a commitment by the United States” to disarming Hamas.
He also said that “we all understand that this is not going to happen,” and that the IDF is prepared once given the directive.
