Katz: Plan to establish a civilian zone south of the Morag axis to isolate Gaza residents

Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz stated that Tel Aviv controls approximately 70% of the Gaza Strip and intends to remain there until all detainees are returned.

Katz added that a plan is under consideration to establish a civilian zone south of the Morag axis, with the aim of isolating Gaza residents from Hamas, and that an international body is currently being sought to administer this zone.

Katz also noted that Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich did not reject the issue of humanitarian aid to Gaza, but rather objected to its management by Hamas.

Katz revealed a plan to encourage voluntary emigration from Gaza, explaining that the Israeli Prime Minister is working to find countries willing to accept refugees.
