TEL AVIV, December 1, 2024 (WAFA) – Former Israeli ‘Defense’ Minister Moshe Ya’alon reiterated his statements made yesterday regarding Israel’s ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide in the Gaza Strip.

In an interview on Sunday with the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation "Kan", Ya’alon stated, "I stand by my remarks about Israel carrying out an ethnic cleansing operation in Gaza. I am speaking on behalf of individuals who served in northern Gaza. War crimes are being committed there."

Ya’alon further emphasized, "What I said reflects the calls to reduce Gaza's population and the push for the return of settlements to that area," referring to Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's statements.

He added, "I am compelled to warn about what is happening there. War crimes are being committed. Never has a democratic state faced trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague for such actions."

Yesterday, Ya’alon revealed in a press interview that Israel is conducting a genocidal campaign in northern Gaza. According to Israeli broadcasting, he stated: "We are carrying out ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza. There is no longer a Beit Lahia or Beit Hanoun."
