Israel to take control of entire Gaza strip, Netanyahu says
Israel will take "control" of the entire Gaza Strip, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday after stepping up a military offensive in the devastated Palestinian territory.
“The fighting is intense and we are making progress. We will take control of the entire territory of the Strip,” the Israeli head of government declared in a video posted on his Telegram account.
“We will not give in. But to be successful, we have to act in a way that does not stop us,” he added.
Netanyahu also explained that his country must avoid a famine in Gaza “for diplomatic reasons”, after the announcement of a limited resumption of humanitarian aid destined for the besieged and bombed Palestinian territory.
“We must not let the population fall into hunger, neither for practical reasons nor for diplomatic reasons,” he declared in the same video.
He explained that Israel’s “friends” said they would not tolerate “images of mass starvation.”

The threat from Bolsonaro persists, and the appetites of the market and Congress continue to put pressure on the government. Abroad, the global advance of the far right and the brutality in Gaza and Ukraine risk imploding the fragile foundations of global governance.
