Why is Israel expanding its war on Gaza?
As Israel expands its operations in Gaza, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are again being forced from their homes. Israel's prime minister has promised to seize all of the strip – something Palestinian commentators have long been saying. Benjamin Netanyahu added the ultimate result of this will be the 'forcible expulsion of Palestinians' from Gaza.
