Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed that the security cabinet is set to decide on a full reoccupation of Gaza, a move that would mark a major escalation of the conflict after nearly two years of war in the territory.
Despite international pressure, opposition from the Israeli military and domestic fears the operation will endanger hostages, Mr. Netanyahu has pushed for a complete takeover of the besieged enclave.
In an interview with Fox News shortly before the security cabinet meeting, the Prime Minister was asked whether Israel plans to take military control of all Gaza.
He claimed Israel is aiming to remove Hamas in Gaza before handing the territory to civilian governance that is not Hamas and not anyone advocating for the destruction of Israel.
