Netanyahu says Israel will keep fighting in Gaza until victory
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country will continue the war in the Gaza Strip until all objectives have been achieved, and blamed the Palestinian militant group Hamas for stalled negotiations over a temporary ceasefire.
"Capitulating to Hamas's demands would be a terrible defeat for the State of Israel," Netanyahu said on Sunday in a video message. "It would be a great victory for Hamas, Iran and the entire axis of evil. It would exhibit terrible weakness to our friends, and to our enemies."
