Netanyahu says Israeli army will increase control of Gaza to 70%, violating ceasefire deal – video

Speaking at a conference in an occupied West Bank settlement, Benjamin Netanyahu said he had given orders to the Israeli army to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip. The expansion of Israeli military control would be a direct violation of the October ceasefire, the UN security council resolution that endorsed it, and Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan, which laid out a temporary ‘yellow line’ splitting Gaza into Israeli- and Hamas-run halves pending further peace negotiations
