Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to convene his security cabinet to discuss expanding Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. This comes as negotiations with Hamas for a ceasefire and hostage release have reached an impasse. The proposal is to move into the heart of Gaza City and central areas of the territory—where it is believed hostages are being held. However, the plan faces criticism not only from the international community but also from Israelis themselves. Former U.S. Special Representative for Syria and ISIS, Ambassador James Jeffrey, joins to discuss the impact of potential expansion, U.N. involvement, international recognition of a Palestinian state, and prospects for a ceasefire.
