Tavsif:

A top UN official warns expanding Israeli military operations inside Gaza risks "catastrophic consequences," as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering total occupation of the Palestinian territory. A widening of the war "would risk catastrophic consequences for millions of Palestinians and could further endanger the lives of the remaining hostages in Gaza," Miroslav Jenca, UN assistant secretary‑general for Europe, Central Asia and the Americas, tells a Security Council meeting.
