According to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, Israel will “control Gaza with full freedom of action” once Hamas is destroyed.
Israel will control the Gaza Strip after the destruction of the terrorist organization Hamas, Israel’s far-right defense minister Israel Katz says.
Katz published an X publication in which he clarifies his position regarding the future of the Gaza Strip, which is the target of Israeli hostilities.
– When the military and administrative power of Hamas in Gaza is destroyed, Israel will rule Gaza peacefully and with full freedom of action, as it rules Judea and Samaria, Katz writes.
Judea and Samaria is the name used by the Israeli government for the West Bank region, which Israel has illegally occupied since 1967.
– We will not allow terrorist organizations to attack Israelis and Israeli homes from Gaza. There is no going back to the time before October 7, Katz writes.
Israel continues to bomb the Gaza Strip as part of its military operations against Hamas. Overnight, an Israeli airstrike in the Daraj neighborhood east of Gaza City killed eight people, Al Jazeera reports.
