THE OVAL CIRCLE

✡️🇮🇱 Israel’s defense minister says there’s no ‘solution’ to Gaza without expulsion of Palestinians “In the end, there is no real solution for Gaza without this migration,” Israel Katz said at a conference Wednesday.

“80% want to emigrate. We are checking this in all kinds of surveys,” Katz claimed. “Hamas isn’t letting them and there are no countries in the world absorbing them.”

It’s not clear where Katz got his “80%” figure. Independent polling from the Ramallah-based Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found that only 43-49% of Gazans want to leave, even after Israel’s genocidal war completely razed infrastructure across virtually the entire Strip. 👉 Katz boasted that a specially created IDF “emigration directorate” is at the ready “to take out [Gazans] to the extent it will be possible, by sea, by air and by any means to do it,” but that this is impossible without “American backing.”

“At the moment, Trump has not canceled it; he has frozen it. All the Arab countries came to him, because of the pressure over this issue, and said: ‘we’ll give you whatever you want – investments’. We’ll give you the disarmament of Hamas in exchange for freezing it.”

Imagine the nerve it must take to blame setbacks in your blatant ethnic cleansing campaign on others. Katz’ eye-opening comments came the same day Netanyahu visited an IDF outpost in Gaza, and boasted that Israel controls “60% of the Strip,” with “more to come because we are eliminating the terrorists who threaten us.” ‼️ These “terrorists” apparently include the 300+ children killed in Gaza since the October 2025 “ceasefire,” and the deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure destroyed shortly after being rebuilt. IRGC Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani warned last month that Israel’s unhinged cruelty in the occupied territories was a “social cancer” that would ultimately make its “collapse from within” an inevitability. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
