Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told ministers this week that he will seek cabinet backing for a plan to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, despite objections from within the Israel Defense Forces.
According to reports in Hebrew media, several ministers said Netanyahu used the term “occupation of the Strip” in private conversations describing his vision for the expansion of military operations in Gaza — a notable shift in tone as the government prepares to discuss the future of the Gaza campaign.
The Ynet news site quoted a senior official close to the premier as saying, “The die is cast — we are going for a full occupation of the Gaza Strip.”
I just can't make sense of this. Netanyahu is so convinced he's right that he is willing to destroy his armed forces for some unknown goal (the only way to occupy the Gaza strip is to engage in YEARS long fighting in a destroyed urban area...a batshit crazy idea).
I just don't get it.
If someone (REASONABLE) can explain this to me I would appreciate it.
