Why is Israel expanding its war on Gaza? | Inside Story
Israel expands its military operation in Gaza with increased bombardment by air and more troops on the ground. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says why -- he wants to take control of the entire strip. That is something Palestinian commentators have long been saying. Netanyahu added that the ultimate result of this will be the 'forcible expulsion of Palestinians' from Gaza. While partially lifting the intensive blockade of the strip - now in its third month - he said he is only doing so to appease his supporters in the US. So what does this mean for the future of Gaza?
