Katz, who was recently appointed Israel's foreign minister, showed his European counterparts two videos during the meeting, Borrell said.

The first promoted a rail infrastructure project connecting Gaza with the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank. The second showed a proposal to build an artificial island in the Mediterranean Sea off the Gazan coast that would serve as a commercial hub linking the Gaza Strip with the rest of the world.

The infrastructure project dates back to Katz's time as Israel's transport minister and was first pitched in a 2017 video as "an answer to a reality that is bad for the Palestinians and not good for Israel," according to Reuters.

Peace and security
On peace and security matters, Katz is considered to be a hardliner in the Israeli government.[27][28] He takes an annexationist view of the West Bank: he supports continued settlement construction,[citation needed] extending full Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank, and severing all relations with the Palestinian Authority.[29][30] He opposes the two-state solution and the creation of a Palestinian state in any form, which he regards as unacceptable considering "our rights to this land". Instead, Katz favors the creation of an autonomous Palestinian entity "with Jordanian civil and political affiliation", and connecting the Gaza Strip to Egypt.[31] He opposes any territorial retreat from the Golan Heights, captured from Syria during the Six-Day War, deeming it "an integral part of Israel and vital for its security and protection."[32]

I really hope people don't have false illusions and understand how extreme Israel's current government is (even if you support Israel in general). This guy is the foreign minister and wants Palestinians removed.
