Netanyahu threatens sweeping military offensive in occupied West Bank

Netanyahu threatens sweeping military offensive in occupied West Bank Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will decide when to carry out a major military operation in the occupied West Bank. “I have reviewed a very extensive operation in the West Bank that will be unprecedented since ’67, and we will choose the timing of its implementation,” Netanyahu said. In the 1967 war, Israel captured the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, alongside Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and Syria’s Golan Heights.
