Channel 13 news revealed that during an assessment of Trump's proposal to displace the residents of Gaza and rebuild the Strip, Binder cautioned that the plan could trigger an escalation of operations in the West Bank, especially with the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The report explained that Binder did not oppose Trump’s plans but only warned about the potential repercussions.

In a statement, Katz said, “There will be no reality in which IDF officers will speak out against US President Trump’s important plan regarding Gaza, and against the directives of the political echelon,” despite the Channel 13's report saying that he expressed no criticism of the plan.

Israeli media reported that Israeli Security Minister Israel Katz instructed outgoing IOF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi to reprimand the head of the Military Intelligence Directorate after a TV report cited Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder warning about the repercussions of US President Donald Trump’s plans for Gaza.
