Israel will establish nuclear power plants in Gaza, defence minister says Israeli defence minister Israel Katz on Tuesday said that Israel will establish nuclear power plants in northern Gaza, Israeli media reported. Haaretz reported that at the signing ceremony of an agreement to evacuate the Binyamin military base and build housing units in the Beit El settlement, Katz said: "We are deep inside Gaza and we will never leave all of Gaza - there will be no such thing. We are here to protect and prevent what happened." He added that the Israeli army is also "inside Lebanon, inside Syria, at the peak of Mount Hermon in the security zone and inside the terrorist camps in the West Bank." "The IDF is and will be cutting off between jihadist enemies and our communities and residents. We don't trust anyone, and no one will come and tell us - there will be no agreement, we won't move a millimetre in Syria," he said.
