On the 25th local time, Israeli Defense Minister Katz said in a speech at a conference that Israel will never completely withdraw from the Gaza Strip, and emphasized that security zones will be established within the Gaza Strip in the future to protect the Israeli community. Katz said that even after the cease-fire agreement in Gaza enters the second phase and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement disarms, Israel will maintain an important security zone within the Gaza Strip to strengthen internal security in Gaza and protect Israel's security. He also stressed that Israel will act if Hamas does not disarm itself. He said that as long as Israel loses control of the Philadelphia Corridor connecting Gaza and Egypt, Iran can successfully deliver weapons to Gaza even for a day.
