Israel’s security cabinet is set to decide on a full reoccupation of Gaza, a move that would mark a major escalation of the conflict in after nearly two years of war in the territory.

Netanyahu will convene the security cabinet following a three-hour meeting this week with the head of the military, which Israeli officials described as tense, saying the military chief had pushed back on expanding the campaign.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly moving toward full occupation of Gaza after dissent in the ranks and international condemnation.
