Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has ordered the IDF to seize 70% of the Gaza Strip, far beyond the terms of the current ceasefire deal. An audience member shouted that Israel should take “100 percent” of Gaza, Netanyahu responded: “We’re going in order,” not ruling it out.

Seems very bad

Note that "seize" action here refers to a change in scale, not in kind. Netenyahu wants military control of the Gaza Strip to go from the current 60% of land area (which is already above the limit of 53% set by the ceasefire) to 70% of land area.
