12:41Now PlayingThe BBC's Middle East correspondent Yolande Knell tells us what Israel's next move could be in Gaza, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he'd directed the Israel Defense Forces to increase its control of the territory to 70 percent.
Mr Netanyahu said Israel was "squeezing Hamas", as the IDF advances further beyond the "yellow line" of demarcation set by the US-brokered ceasefire agreement last year. Analysts say the operation is pushing Palestinian civilians into a smaller and smaller strip of land.
This comes just days after the Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz spoke about plans for a large number of Palestinians to "voluntarily emigrate" from Gaza. Human rights groups have warned that this may amount to the forced displacement of civilians - which could be considered a war crime. Some right-wing voices in Israel have called for Jewish settlements to be established in Gaza, the way they have in the occupied West Bank.
Under the 20-point plan put forward by US President Donald Trump, the next phase of the Gaza peace plan would see Hamas disarm and Israeli troops withdraw, but indirect talks have stalled, as Hamas refuses to give up its weapons.
