Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has made clear that Israel will not fully withdraw from Gaza, emphasizing the establishment of outposts in Northern Gaza and asserting that the military presence is for “protection.” This rhetoric is seen as a euphemism for colonialism, with Katz claiming the era of practical sovereignty in the West Bank.

As Israel prepares for further actions, the UN’s effectiveness in protecting Palestinian rights is questioned amid accusations of complicity in colonialism.
