Israel's security cabinet is debating a plan for complete military control of Gaza, a drastic escalation of the ongoing conflict.
Prime Minister Netanyahu advocates for a four-to-five-month ground operation, starting with an offensive in Gaza City's densely populated areas.
This action could displace a million Palestinians, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation and raising international concerns.
The plan faces strong opposition within Israel's military, warning of a long, costly entanglement with potentially devastating consequences.
