Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on Monday, October 19, that Israel will achieve the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, either through an agreement or military action, and that Hamas will be destroyed. Katz emphasized that Israel will not cease its efforts until Hamas is eliminated and Gaza is disarmed, meaning the removal of weapons and tunnels. He outlined two potential paths to achieve this: a current agreement mediated by the United States, or through military operations by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). "The time is approaching, and the IDF is ready to carry out this mission," Katz asserted, as reported by Israel National News.
Katz also commented on accountability for the October 7 attacks, directing the IDF to continue striking all those involved in the "atrocities," regardless of their location, whether in Gaza or abroad. He indicated that both he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have issued these directives, promising that "all of them will be brought to justice, and none of them will have any immunity anywhere."
The minister praised the work of the IDF and the Shin Bet, following reports of the elimination of several Hamas militants in Gaza on Sunday evening.
