UN official says Israel expanding Gaza operations would risk 'catastrophic consequences'
A top UN official has warned there would be "catastrophic consequences" if Israel expands its military operations in Gaza, after reports Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is pushing for a total reoccupation of the strip.
Assistant Secretary General Miroslav Jenča told a meeting of the UN Security Council such a move would be "deeply alarming" if true, and could endanger the lives of more Palestinians, as well as Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
