❗️Katz threatens to ethnically cleanse Gaza City if any Israeli occupation soldier is taken captive

Israeli War Minister Israel Katz has warned Hamas and its supporters, “from Iran to Erdogan,” that Gaza City’s roughly one million residents would be forcibly displaced south if even one Israeli occupation soldier or Israeli settler were taken captive.

Katz issued the warning today, citing “various intentions and intelligence,” according to The Times of Israel.

“If even one Israeli soldier or civilian is kidnapped, the entire Gaza City’s … one million residents will be evacuated southward,” Katz said, adding that the city’s homes and infrastructure would be “dealt with in the same way that Rafah and Beit Hanoun and 70 percent of the Gaza Strip were dealt with, until they are returned.”
