Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told world leaders Thursday that attacking Iran "was one of the easiest decisions I've ever had to make."
Netanyahu told the U.N. General Assembly that Israel "must finish the job" against Hamas in Gaza, giving a defiant U.N. speech despite growing international isolation over his refusal to end the devastating war in Gaza.
The official said it "wasn't sufficient' to "adequately warn regional partners."
Israel has begun its ground operation in Gaza City, Israel Defense Forces Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said Tuesday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday he will give final approval for the takeover of Gaza City while also restarting negotiations with Hamas.
Israel will send call-ups to 50,000 to 60,000 reservists as part of its plans to occupy Gaza City, according to an Israeli military official.
