Israel Cabinet Approves Plan To ‘Seize’ Gaza In Expanded Military Operation
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said an expanded offensive against Palestinian militant group Hamas would be “intensive” after his security cabinet approved plans that may include seizing the Gaza Strip and controlling aid.
However an Israeli defence official said the operation would not be launched before U.S. President Donald Trump concludes his visit next week to the Middle East.
The decision, after weeks of faltering efforts to agree a ceasefire with Hamas, underlines the threat that a war heaping international pressure on Israel amid dwindling public support at home could continue with no end in sight.
Talk’s Mike Graham discusses the story with former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy.
