Why does Israel want to extend the war against Gaza? | Israeli-Palestine conflict

The Israeli columnist Gideon Levy told the host Steve Clemons that almost all Israelis believe that their country “has the right to do what it wants”. This includes war crimes and plans to create concentration camps for Palestinians in Gaza, in preparation for expulsion.

Levy argues that this makes no difference if a republican or democratic administration was in power in the United States or if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or a different politician were in power in Israel.

“The same war could have taken place, and the same war crimes would have been committed,” he said.
