THE Israeli defence minister has lately confirmed what numerous throughout the world already know: the Zionist state seeks to ethnically cleanse the occupied territories of their native Palestinian inhabitants.

Tel Aviv seeks to achieve this reprehensible aim through murder – as witnessed in the Gaza genocide – as well as forced displacement so as to quench its insatiable thirst for other people's land.

Israel Katz has remarked his country is ready to depopulate Gaza and only awaits America's green light. Israel is prepared to "get them out – by sea, by air, by every way possible", he remarked, contemptuously referring to Gaza's residents as if they were livestock to be transported from one place to another.

He continued there was "no real solution" other than the forcible removal of Gaza's residents. In fact, there particularly much is a solution: Israel must vacate all occupied Palestinian territory and be produced to answer for its genocidal campaign in Gaza.

For context, the situation is not much better in the West Bank. Here, the UN notes Israel has forcibly displaced the residents of three refugee camps in the occupied territory. Meanwhile, rabid Jewish settlers have unleashed a reign of terror on the West Bank's Arab population.

It should be remembered that forcible displacement is a war crime. It even the so-called Gaza peace plan prohibits.

According to Since Israel has clearly, it only awaits America's blessings to go ahead with the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, the Trump administration must unambiguously state its opposition to this criminal plan. In fact, those who should leave occupied Palestinian land are the Zionist military and the Israeli settlers who seek to devour Arab territory.

Meanwhile, the Palestinians have faced one Nakba already, violently forced off the land of their forefathers by outsiders. They must not be created to face another catastrophe executed by the Zionist state, and underwritten by its staunch supporters in Washington. Published in Dawn, September 5th, 2026.

Taken together, the developments around 'Cleansing' Gaza point to a situation that is still moving, and the coming days should bring more clarity.
