Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to widen the assault on Gaza with the aim of occupying the entire enclave, reports quoted an official from his office as saying Monday, as the Palestinian enclave is already devastated by Tel Aviv's ongoing blockade and genocidal attacks.
Netanyahu will be convening his cabinet on Tuesday to make a decision on the matter, Israeli media reported.
"We must continue to stand together and fight together to achieve all our war objectives: the defeat of the enemy, the release of our hostages, and the assurance that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel," Netanyahu said at the outset of a regular cabinet meeting.
Israel's Channel 12 cited an official from his office as saying that Netanyahu was inclining towards expanding the offensive and seizing the entire Palestinian enclave.
Netanyahu's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
