What did Netanyahu say?
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has responded to the joint statement by the leaders of Britain, France and Canada. Netanyahu said, "The leaders of these countries are asking us to stop the war that we are fighting for our security. Apart from this, these countries are also demanding a Palestinian nation. These countries want us to stop the war before we destroy the Hamas terrorists on Israel's border."
He added, "The war could end tomorrow if the remaining hostages are released. The war will end when Hamas accepts defeat, their bloody leaders leave the country and all forces are withdrawn from Gaza."
