Israeli media: Netanyahu to urge 'full conquest' of Gaza

Negotiations on a hostage and ceasefire deal in Gaza appear to be at an impasse, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leaning towards expanded military operations and Hamas demanding the humanitarian situation be addressed before it returns to talks. Netanyahu will urge a meeting of the security cabinet on Tuesday to support the full “conquest of the Strip” according to reports in Israeli media that were described as accurate by a source familiar with the matter.

On Monday, hundreds of retired Israeli security officials urged Trump to pressure Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza. “It is our professional judgement that Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel,” the former officials wrote in an open letter shared with the media on Monday.

CNN's Matthew Chance reports from Jerusalem, and Lynda Kinkade speaks with Nimrod Novik, author of the open letter.

it won't end well. Israel is in NO way, shape or form set up to permanently occupy and rule Gaza. He's a sick, crazy old fuck and well....he's gonna find out karma is a bitch.

Meanwhile... approx. 2 million Palestinians live within the internationally recognized borders of Israel as citizens. This group constitutes about 20% of Israel's total population.

Is it aligned with what 47% of Israelis think a conquest allows- the killing of every inhabitant, as the Israelites did in Jericho?

One religion's Jihad is another religion's Jericho, I guess.

Seriously worried.
