Dr Burcu Ozcelik, a fellow at the Royal United Services Institute think-tank in London, said a full-scale occupation “would mark the beginning of a bleak and highly volatile new phase of the war with far-reaching regional and international implications”. She suggested the plan might have come in response and retaliation for European plans to recognise a Palestinian state, as well as the failure to agree to a ceasefire with Hamas that would release the hostages."
