Following the IDF’s capture of the Morag Corridor between southern Gaza’s Rafah and Khan Younis, Defense Minister Israel Katz calls on Palestinians to “remove Hamas and release all the hostages” before the military expands its operations in the Strip.
“This is the final moment to remove Hamas and release the hostages and bring about an end to the war,” Katz says in a statement.
“The IDF has now completed the capture of the Morag Corridor that divides Gaza between Rafah and Khan Younis, and makes the entire area between the Philadelphi Corridor and Morag part of the Israeli security zone,” he says, referring to the IDF’s buffer zone on the Gaza border.
“In northern Gaza, residents are also evacuating in Beit Hanoun and other neighborhoods and territory is being taken, expanding the security zone, and also in the Netzarim Corridor,” Katz says.
“Intensive IDF activity will soon expand to additional places in most of Gaza, and you will have to evacuate the combat zones,” he warns.
“Hamas is unable to protect the residents or the territory. Hamas leaders are hiding in tunnels with their families, and in luxury hotels abroad with billions in their bank accounts and are using you as hostages,” he says.
“It is time to stand up and remove Hamas and release all the Israeli hostages. This is the only way to end the war,” he continues.
Katz adds that “those interested will also be able to voluntarily move to various countries around the world, in accordance with the vision of the US president, which we are working to carry out.”
