Israeli minister vows ‘100 percent’ control over Gaza

Israel’s energy and infrastructure minister says Israel will continue expanding its control over the Gaza Strip until it reaches “100 percent”.

Speaking to Galei Israel radio, Eli Cohen said Israel could not allow Hamas “to raise its head even by a millimetre”.

Cohen said Israel controlled 53 percent of Gaza two months ago, about 60 percent one month ago and “close to 70 percent” today.

He added that Israel’s control over the enclave “will only continue to grow”.
