Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed his plan to take over Gaza City is the 'best way to end the war' in the Middle East.
The plan, which has been broadly condemned by many of Israel's allies, aims to take the entire Gaza Strip under the control of Netanyahu's government.
He said that while Israel currently controls around 75% of the enclave, there are two 'remaining strongholds' where he claimed Hamas militants are - Gaza City in the north and the 'central camps.'
Despite his military's actions that have led to it taking a large proportion of the Strip, he asserted that 'our goal is not to occupy Gaza, our goal is to free Gaza' on a 'fairly short timeline.'
The goals there, he said, include demilitarising Gaza, the Israeli military having 'overriding security control' there and a non-Israeli civilian administration in charge.
