Viki Cohen, the mother of Israeli hostage Nimrod Cohen, has spoken out against reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to fully occupy Gaza. “We’re hearing talk about conquering Gaza, that will be a death sentence for our hostages,” said Cohen, after stating that the Israeli government “is ruining all of our values.”

Former National Security Council senior director Robert Greenway discusses how the Israeli government is shifting the Middle East region and new China military action on 'Mornings with Maria.'

Israel's military chief has pushed back against Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to seize areas of Gaza it doesn't already control, three Israeli officials said, as the prime minister faces increasing pressure over the war both at home and abroad.

The videos released late last week by militant groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad show two skeletal hostages pleading for their lives.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is signaling that he plans to expand Israel’s military operations in Gaza with plans to occupy all of the strip. The escalation could complicate negotiations for the release of hostages.
