Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid on Tuesday warned Benjamin Netanyahu against a full occupation of the Gaza Strip, following reports that the Israeli premier is leaning towards making a major decision on the next step in the war.

Sources within Netanyahu’s government spoke to Israeli media outlets about the plan, a stark departure in Israel’s tactics in Gaza.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Israel’s Prime Minister is reportedly pushing to occupy all of the Gaza strip. Families of hostages still held in Gaza are concerned that these plans could further endanger the hostages and possibly lose any chance of getting them back home.
