Kats presses Supreme Court on West Bank camp army
Israeli Occupation Security Minister Yisrael Katz reaffirmed his commitment to maintaining the Israeli military presence within the camps of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams in northern the West Bank, despite the Israeli High Court's request for a timeline for residents to return to their homes. Katz announced that military policy has shifted towards exerting continuous control over the camps instead of temporary incursions, claiming that this approach has contributed to an 80% reduction in armed operations and the dismantling of Iranian support networks. He clarified that the army does not intend to retreat from its deployment and will continue working to dismantle armed groups. Katz rejected the court's interference in security decisions and indicated the possibility of enacting special legislation to enable the ongoing military presence, despite calls to return residents to their homes, which remain unavailable due to poor cooperation with the Palestinian Authority and plans to establish alternative sites. The deadline set by the court for submitting official responses regarding steps to return to the homes has now expired.
