Katz responds to Hamas: Surrender or see Gaza City destroyed

 Defense Minister Israel Katz warns that Hamas will soon face a stark choice: either accept Israel’s conditions to end the war — including the release of all hostages and disarmament — or see Gaza City “become like Rafah and Beit Hanoun,” accusing the group of continuing to “deceive and utter empty words.”

His remarks come after Hamas issued a statement saying that it was willing to release all the hostages in return for an end to the war and a complete Israeli withdrawal.

Israel is preparing an expanded offensive to conquer Gaza City.
