Israel says it will eventually control all of Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this week that Israel will ultimately control the entirety of the Gaza Strip. According to Netanyahu, the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) ongoing offensive will eventually result in the seizure of the entire enclave. Israel has consistently maintained that its primary objectives in Gaza are the return of hostages and the elimination of Hamas. This announcement follows reports from a month prior suggesting that Israel already controlled approximately 70 percent of Gaza. LiveNOW's Austin Westfall discussed these developments with Ben Cohen, a Senior Analyst at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.
