‘If A Single Israeli Is Abducted, The Entire City Of Gaza Will Be Evacuated,’ Says Israeli DM Katz At Yom Kippur War Memorial Ceremony

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said at the National Memorial Hall on Mount Herzl that Israel "will not withdraw from the 'Yellow Line' in Gaza to new deployment lines within Gaza as long as Hamas has not been ousted and Gaza has not been demilitarized of weapons and tunnels." He said that "53 years after the Yom Kippur War, we are engaged in a campaign against those who seek to destroy us," adding "they did not succeed in 1973, and they will not succeed today."
