JERUSALEM, Israel
Israel’s leader refuted reports of a possible truce agreement to halt the war on Gaza, vowing to finish the fight until “all goals are achieved”.
Benjamin Netanyahu is under
mounting pressure from families of captives and the wider public to reach a
deal. “We will not withdraw the Israeli military from the Gaza Strip, and we
will not release thousands of terrorists,” he said.
Hamas’s top political leader
Ismail Haniyeh said the group is studying the latest proposal for truce but the
priority is the “full withdrawal” of Israeli forces from Gaza and a long-term
ceasefire.
Qatar and Egypt, which mediate
with Hamas, have held talks with Israel and the United States in recent days.
