Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering ordering the full reoccupation of the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli media, a move that would draw fierce opposition internationally and within Israel.

It would mark a stunning escalation of the nearly 22-month war in the territory that has already been largely destroyed and where experts say famine is unfolding. It would put the lives of countless Palestinians and about 20 living hostages at risk, and deepen Israel’s already stark international isolation.

      Devil’s advocate here: should they?

      Shouldn’t the sole goal of the Chinese government be to ensure the prosperity of China and the Chinese people?

        I don’t disagree, everyone will take care of their own, but if China wants to be a true world power, it can’t just focus inward and ignore everyone else.

          I guess it’s not focusing inward, it is just making moves solely guided by the interests of China and not by any ideology or morality.
