    Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Sunday that the Israeli
    military has forcibly displaced 40,000 Palestinians in the northern
    occupied West Bank and that they couldnÆt return home as the IDF will
    be operating in the area over the next year, raising fears of a new
    ethnic cleansing campaign.

    The Israeli military launched the current operation in the West Bank,
    dubbed ôIron Wall,ö on January 21. It has been focused on the northern
    cities of Jenin and Tulkarm but has spread elsewhere in the occupied
    territory. In a new escalation, Israeli tanks entered the West Bank on
    Sunday for the first time since 2002.

    Katz said in a statement that he ordered the Israeli military ôto
    prepare for an extended stay in the camps that have been cleared for
    the coming year, and not to allow residents to return.ö
