Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the Biden administration’s request for a “pause” in fighting between Israel and Hamas.
Netanyahu stated that Israel would continue its military operation and refused a temporary ceasefire unless it included the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
“I conveyed to him [Biden] that we are continuing with all our might,” Netanyahu said.

“Israel refuses a temporary ceasefire that does not include the liberation of our hostages. Israel will not allow fuel into the Gaza Strip, and opposes the transfer of money into the Strip.”
Despite the call for a pause to allow humanitarian aid and hostage release, aid continues to enter Gaza from the South, and Hamas has not committed to releasing hostages during a ceasefire.
The Biden administration’s request for a pause is seen as an attempt to appease Arab- and Muslim-American voters in Michigan.
Netanyahu emphasized that Israel would fight until Hamas was destroyed and warned Hezbollah in Lebanon not to intervene in the conflict.

Palestinian Hamas terrorists killed over 1,400 innocent civilians, including 33 Americans. Potentially hundreds of people were taken hostages.
IDF Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht said the Hamas music festival massacre “is the largest number of Jews killed in one day since the Holocaust.”
Israel has targeted known Hamas locations with its airstrikes and missiles.
In Gaza, the death toll climbed to 8,000 Palestinians as Israel launches a counterattack to destroy Hamas.
Hamas notoriously use their own people as human shields, including women and children. The terror group also kills Palestinians who attempt to flee.
This makes it incredibly difficult for Israel to defend itself while avoiding innocent casualties.
Israel has repeatedly warned innocent civilians, as well as women and children, to evacuate the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military is preparing tens of thousands of soldiers to capture Gaza City and destroy Hamas’ current leadership.
Three senior Israeli military officers outlined the unclassified details about the counterattack. IDF says its main goal is to destroy the top political and military hierarchy of Hamas.
The assault is expected to be Israel’s “biggest ground operation since it invaded Lebanon in 2006.”
This also the first time that Israel has attempted to capture land and at least briefly hold onto it since its invasion of Gaza in 2008.
