Israeli Defense Minister Katz threatened on the 22nd that if more Israelis are kidnapped in the future, then the largest city in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, Gaza City will be “emptied.” Katz said at an event commemorating the “Yom Kippur War” on the same day that he warned “terrorist organizations and their supporters,” including Iran and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, that as long as an Israeli soldier or civilian is kidnapped, then one million residents of the entire city of Gaza will move south.
