The Israeli military-political cabinet confirmed the program proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take control of the territory of Gaza and expanding the operation in the Palestinian enclave, reporting the statement of the Prime Minister's Office.
According to it, the Israeli Defense Army will prepare for action in Gaza, while providing humanitarian aid to the civilian population outside the combat zones.
According to Kan, the Chief of the General Staff of the Israeli Army, Amen Zamir opposed the Netanyahu's plan, indicating the possible risk for hostages, the consumption of the warehouse of the armed forces and the damage to the international legitimacy of the state.
However, according to the Chancellor's statement, most of the ministers said that the alternative program would not allow "to win the Palestinian Movement Hamas or to ensure the return of hostages."
