Israel Will 'Finish Job' in Gaza and Remove Palestinians, Says Defence Minister

Katz said the IDF is ready to eliminate Hamas and carry out a migration plan for Gaza’s 2 million Palestinians.

  • On Wednesday, Israel defense minister Israel Katz stated the country will soon resume full-scale war in Gaza and force out its 2 million Palestinians, citing military readiness.
  • Despite the 11-month-old ceasefire reducing violence, Israel regularly conducts strikes in Gaza; Katz noted that 70 per cent of Gaza had already been emptied of its population following the Oct 7, 2023 attack.
  • According to United Nations figures, the retaliatory campaign has killed more than 73,700 people; Katz previously stated the October 2025 ceasefire announced by President Donald Trump held "supreme value for all Israelis."
  • Ambassador Mike Huckabee has denied any plan to "Displace people out of Gaza against their will," though Katz claims his migration strategy remains voluntary for Palestinians.
  • Insisting on Hamas decommissioning all weapons before withdrawal, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the latest ceasefire stages, despite Hamas stating in late July it was ready to disarm.
