Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly decided on a full occupation of Gaza and will seek approval from his security cabinet. The move follows the failure of recent ceasefire talks. Former PM Ehud Barak criticised the decision, calling the war a way to protect Netanyahu from corruption charges. UN human rights chief Volker Turk said Israel is restricting aid and warned that denying food could be a war crime. Aid groups described Gaza’s crisis as “hunger games.” The situation remains tense, with Israel also intercepting a missile from Yemen. The security cabinet meeting is expected soon to discuss next steps. (PC: AP)
