Israel will coordinate with Egypt regarding Palestinians displaced by the fighting in Gaza and will find a way to not harm the country’s interests, Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz says.
“The state of Israel will have to deal with Rafah because we can’t just leave Hamas there,” Katz says on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
When asked where the displaced Palestinians in Rafah would go, he suggests Khan Younis, just north of Rafah, but says that Israel “will coordinate with Egypt” to ensure Cairo’s interests are not harmed.
