Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, who also served as IDF Chief of Staff, has accused Israel of carrying out ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza. In an interview with Democrat TV, Ya'alon criticized the current Israeli leadership, warning that the path they are taking leads to annexation and ethnic cleansing. He stated that there is no longer Beit Lahia or Beit Hanoun, and operations are ongoing in Jabalia to remove Arabs from the area. Ya'alon's claims are based on information from IDF officers on the ground, who told him that the leadership had sent them to northern Gaza to commit acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
