Israeli Defense Minister Katz Confirms Plan for Large-Scale Palestinian Migration
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the government is committed to implementing a plan for the 'voluntary migration' of Palestinians from Gaza. In a statement following the killing of a Hamas commander, Katz indicated the plan would be executed at the 'right time and in the right manner.' Human rights organizations have condemned the move as a violation of international law and a breach of the standing ceasefire agreement, labeling it as a policy of ethnic cleansing.
