Foreign minister urges Gaza-style approach to West Bank 'terrorist front'
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has framed the unfolding West Bank operation as another front in the country’s showdown with Iran, suggesting Israel should "deal with the threat just as we deal with the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza."
"Iran is working to establish an eastern terrorist front against Israel in the West Bank, according to the Gaza and Lebanon model, by financing and arming terrorists and smuggling advanced weapons from Jordan," Katz wrote in a post on X.

Katz said Israel should take "whatever steps are required," including "the temporary evacuation of Palestinian residents."
"This is a war for everything and we must win it," he added.
