Minister Katz: 'No proposal for initiating Hamas overthrow'
Transportation and Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz negated previous statements by other members of the Security Cabinet regarding the possibility of a military takeover of Gaza being on the table.
"Cabinet is currently reviewing no proposal by a certified authority to act in an initiated manner to subdue Hamas in Gaza," the minister said in a Ynet studio interview.
Katz also commented on Hamas's announcement of a ceasefire, and said, "Israel does not hold ceasefires. Our rules of engagement have changed. I won't be surprised if Hamas realized that and we may indeed be facing a calm, just as soon as they stop firing. Israel doesn't have anything to do in Gaza."
