JERUSALEM -- Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that a planned expanded military operation in the Gaza Strip would force the enclave's entire population to either relocate to a confined area in the south or to "voluntarily" emigrate, as Israeli forces prepare to seize control of the entire territory.
"We will act with full force and will not stop until all objectives are achieved, including the voluntary emigration plan for Gaza residents," Katz said during a situational assessment meeting with senior commanders held in preparation for the operation, according to a statement issued on his behalf.
