Defense Minister Israel Katz meets with a ministerial group for talks on how best to destroy Hamas’s governing capacity in Gaza.

The discussion was attended by Justice Minister Yariv Levin, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of National Missions Orit Struk, Minister Zeev Elkin, IDF chief Herzi Halevi, and other senior officials in the defense establishment.

The discussion presented all the actions taken so far to undermine Hamas’s rule in the Gaza Strip, and examined a variety of steps aimed at destroying Hamas’s governing abilities, damaging its infrastructure, and destroying its ability to continue conducting its military and civilian activities, a statement from Katz’s office says, adding that the forum will continue to meet regularly.
