Israeli Defense Minister Katz: Army Ready to 'Complete the Job' in Gaza, Evacuate Residents

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has repeatedly stated the IDF is prepared to 'finish the job' in Gaza, explicitly threatening the removal of its two million inhabitants and resuming full-scale military operations. While these remarks are largely rhetorical, made during an election campaign, they signal a hardening of official Israeli policy and intent regarding Gaza's future. The operational intent and feasibility of such a mass displacement remain unclear, but the rhetoric itself carries significant regional and humanitarian implications.
