A former Israeli defense minister has stirred controversy by accusing Israel of carrying out ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in northern Gaza. Moshe Ya’alon, a highly decorated military veteran, expressed concerns about Israel's actions in the region, stating that the country was losing its identity as a liberal democracy.
Ya’alon's remarks came during an interview with Israel’s Democrat TV, where he highlighted the ongoing military operation in northern Gaza. He used the term 'ethnic cleansing' to describe the situation, pointing to the displacement of Palestinian communities in the area.
