Benjamin Netanyahu to continue the fight against Hamas in the Gaza Strip

Jerusalem December 14, 2023 (QJ) – Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has stated that they will continue the fight against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, despite international support for a ceasefire. Netanyahu emphasized that they will not be swayed from the conflict with Hamas, even if they face continued international pressure.

The statement from the Israeli Prime Minister appears to be a direct response to the remarks made by the President of the United States, who suggested that Israel should prioritize international support and end the ongoing conflict in consideration of the civilian casualties and the escalating situation.

The United States government has been one of Israel’s major supporters, providing significant backing for the military actions taken in Gaza and opposing a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire.

The U.S. government is among several nations that have called for an immediate end to the hostilities, with concerns raised about the humanitarian impact on the Palestinian population in Gaza. The U.S. has also been part of international efforts to broker a ceasefire agreement, calling for a halt to the hostilities through diplomatic means.
