@brutamerica: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces will "take control of all" of the Gaza Strip, as the military expands its ground operations across the territory. The statement comes just after Israel announced it would permit a "basic amount of food" to prevent a starvation crisis for "diplomatic reasons," following Israel's 10-week blockade that cut off access to food, fuel, and medicine. "The fighting is intense and we are making progress," Netanyahu said in a video on Telegram. "We will not give up. But in order to succeed, we must act in a way that cannot be stopped." #gaza #netanyahu #israelgaza #blockade #humanitariancrisis #groundoperations #gazastrip #middleeastconflict #foodaid #diplomaticpressure Photo credit: Jack Guez -Pool/Getty Images
