Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering ordering the full reoccupation of the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli media, a move that would draw fierce opposition internationally and within Israel.

It would mark a stunning escalation of the nearly 22-month war in the territory that has already been largely destroyed and where experts say famine is unfolding. It would put the lives of countless Palestinians and about 20 living hostages at risk, and deepen Israel’s already stark international isolation.

    What is Netanyahu’s problem with the Palestinian Authority? The article says he doesn’t think they are committed to peace. I’m guessing the answer is just hatred but I’ll give peace a chance… unlike Netanyahu.

      Not hatred, the Palestinian Authority is essentially an Israeli puppet “state”. The Palestinian Authority can’t be trusted indeed, but for exactly the opposite of the reason you’d expect. They haven’t done anything significant to further the Palestinian cause in decades.
