The American Axios website revealed, citing officials from the occupation, that the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, is seeking to communicate with President Donald Trump to obtain prior approval or a 'green light' before carrying out any extensive military response in the Gaza Strip.
The officials told Axios that there are no indications so far that a call took place between Trump and Netanyahu before the latter issued a statement on Tuesday evening regarding new airstrikes against targets in Gaza, amid escalating field and political tensions.
In a related context, the Hebrew broadcasting authority reported that the occupation authorities decided to expand the area they control within the Gaza Strip, in a move described as a punitive measure against Hamas.
