"We need to make sure there are no weapons in Gaza." Southern Command has prepared plans to make it happen. The question is whether we'll have a leader with enough courage to make the decision to act in Gaza, fighting on land and not just from the air."
Extremist MKs express support. Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Shaul Mofaz wants Netanyahu to declare a "special (security) situation" emergency, saying:

Brussels-based European Campaign to Raise the Siege on Gaza official Anwar Gharbi denounced him, saying:
