Defense Minister Исраэль Кац has demanded that the High Court of Justice (Bagatz) refrain from interfering in military command decisions concerning security in Judea and Samaria. The demand arose as the court reviewed the issue of allowing Palestinians to return to refugee camps from which they were evacuated during a recent IDF operation. According to Channel 14, the operation, dubbed "Iron Wall," began in January 2025 in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur al-Shams. Approximately 40,000 Palestinians reportedly left these areas during the IDF's counter-terrorism efforts. Following the dismantling of terrorist infrastructure, the IDF has prevented residents from returning to the camps. Katz stated he has no intention of permitting their return or withdrawing IDF units from the locations. He indicated that if necessary, he would seek the Knesset's passage of a special law to maintain the current situation. "Bagatz should not interfere in such security matters, just as it should not interfere in military operations in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, or Iran," Katz declared.
