Israeli sources say expansion of Gaza operation being planned

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Reports out of Israel suggest Benjamin Netanyahu is considering expanding military operations in Gaza, despite growing opposition to the war. Hundreds of Israeli security officials have signed a letter to US President Trump urging him to intervene and stop the war. We speak to one of them, former head of the Israeli Secret Service Shin Bet. Nigel Farage has called on the police to release the immigration status of suspects charged with crimes following the arrest of two men in connection with the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Warwickshire. And after a spell-binding last test match, we'll ask where this summer's series between England and India sit in the cricketing pantheon.
