https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/9db496f9-7f3e-4020-bade-d00d77c871fd Israeli jouralist Gideon Levy explains that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing ahead with a plan to take over the Gaza Strip because "the captives are not the first priority". Despite the risks posed to the 20 living captives still in Gaza, Levy says that Netanyahu's priorities are to conquer the strip because "pushing all the population south and maybe one day kicking them out is much more important than 20 living Israelis" to the Israeli premier. Israel's right wing has strongly lobbied for the occupation and resettlement of the Gaza Strip, including senior ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir as well as those led by veteran settler activist Daniella Weiss. Hear the rest of Gideon Levy's analysis on Netanyahu's government, Israeli public opinion, and what lies ahead for Gaza on Middle East Eye's YouTube channel.
