Israel defense minister says IDF ready to resume Gaza war and carry out migration plan

It is only a matter of time before Israel resumes full-scale war in Gaza and forces Palestinians to leave, claims Defense Minister Israel Katz. Egyptian President Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi rejects deportation.

Katz says the US promise to disarm Hamas, designated as a terrorist group, has failed.

“We all understand that it will not happen - and when the order to eliminate Hamas comes, the IDF (Israeli army) is ready to finish the job so that we can also implement the migration plan,” he says.

The “migration plan” effectively means the displacement of around two million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Katz claims that it is voluntary movement.

Egyptian President al-Sisi reiterates "the position opposing the displacement of Palestinians" in a meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
