Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly moving toward full occupation of Gaza after dissent in the ranks and international condemnation.
Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with his security cabinet Thursday, an Israeli official said.
He met with the cabinet on Tuesday to discuss the occupation, where he said he favored occupying Gaza even if it meant that Hamas kills or harms hostages seized during attacks nearly two years ago, The Times of Israel reported.
Netanyahu is expected to ask the cabinet to approve plans for the Israel Defense Forces to gradually seize Gaza City, the largest city in the territory, the Israeli official told ABC News.
