The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Sunday that Israel is preparing for the possibility of a new military operation in the Gaza Strip Israeli media sources revealed.
“If the reality of civil distress in Gaza is diminished that is desirable but that is not certain to happen and so we are preparing militarily — that is not an empty statement” Netanyahu said during his cabinet meeting.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have entered their 11th year under a suffocating siege imposed by Israel. The blockade dictates the day-to-day reality for people in Gaza where Israel controls the borders airspace and waters.
Gaza’s isolation has devastated its economy impoverished much of the Strip’s two million people and left them without adequate electricity water and health services.
