In full: Benjamin Netanyahu defends Gaza City takeover plan | War in Gaza

Benjamin Netanyahu has defended his controversial plan to broaden Israel’s navy offensive in Gaza.

Speaking at a information convention, the Israeli prime minister advised reporters the operation was the easiest way of ending the struggle, saying Israel had "no choice but to finish the job and defeat Hamas".

Critics say the offensive will result in extra Palestinian deaths, whereas the households of these hostages held in Gaza say the transfer will result in the deaths of their family members.
