Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is leaning toward expanding the offensive in Gaza and seizing the entire enclave, Israel's Channel 12 cited an official from his office as saying on Monday.
Netanyahu will be convening his cabinet on Tuesday to make a decision on the matter, Israeli media reported.
AP reported earlier today that dozens of Palestinians were killed or wounded on Monday as desperate crowds headed toward food distribution points and airdropped parcels in the Gaza Strip, according to witnesses and local health officials.
Israel’s blockade and military offensive have made it nearly impossible to safely deliver aid, contributing to the territory’s slide towards famine nearly 22 months into the war with Hamas.
Aid groups say Israel’s week-old measures to allow more aid in are far from sufficient.
Families of hostages in Gaza fear starvation affects them too, but blame Hamas.
