Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz called for the forcible transfers of Palestinians out of the occupied West Bank in a post on X, Al Jazeera reports.

“Our army is working hard in the Jenin and Tulkarem camps to dismantle the Islamic-Iranian infrastructure that have been established there,” Katz writes.

“Iran is trying to establish an eastern front against Israel in the West Bank, similar to the model in Gaza and Lebanon, by financing and arming terrorists and smuggling advanced weapons from Jordan.

“We must deal with the threat in the West Bank as we are doing in Gaza, including the temporary evacuation of Palestinian residents and whatever other steps are required. This is a war for everything and we must win it.”
