Katz threatens to destroy all that remains of Gaza City if one Israeli is kidnapped by Hamas
Israel Katz said Gaza City’s 1.1 million residents could be forced out if Hamas kidnaps any Israeli, and he also threatened renewed strikes on Iran.
- On Tuesday, Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened to evacuate Gaza City and its one million residents if Hamas, supported by Iran or Turkey, abducts a single Israeli hostage.
- Katz stated at the National Memorial Hall on Mount Herzl that Israel will not withdraw from the 'Yellow Line' in Gaza until Hamas is ousted and the territory is demilitarized.
- Currently, the IDF controls 63% of Gaza and is establishing security zones 'devoid of residents' in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza to destroy terror infrastructure.
- Critics warn Katz's rhetoric complicates legal defenses in The Hague against genocide and war crimes accusations, while the U.S. rebuked his 'here to stay' message regarding Lebanon.
- Commemorating 53 years after the Yom Kippur War, Katz described the current campaign as a fight against those seeking Israel's destruction, warning Israel had struck Iran twice.
