Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he would convene a cabinet meeting later in the week to decide on how to proceed in the offensive in Gaza, AFP reports.

“Later this week, I will convene the cabinet to instruct the [army] on how to achieve the three war objectives we have set,” he said, at the opening of a government meeting.

He reiterated that Israel’s three war goals remain “the defeat of the enemy, the release of our hostages and the promise that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel”.
