Netanyahu Says Israel to Continue War With Hamas After Cease-Fire

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday he has told US President Joe Biden that he will press ahead with Israel's war against Hamas after a temporary cease-fire expires. Hamas agreed to free 50 hostages from Gaza in return for a four-day cease-fire with Israel and the release of 150 Palestinian prisoners, a breakthrough in the conflict amid growing international pressure for the two sides to work toward a deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quick to say war will continue until Hamas is destroyed as an organization, but the accord will mark the first major lull in fighting since the conflict erupted just over six weeks ago when the Iran-backed group attacked Israel. Hamas said there would be a “cessation of all military operations” in Gaza during the four days. Israel will halt airstrikes throughout the Gaza Strip, and stop flying intelligence drones over the northern part of the territory, where most of its ground forces are, for six hours a day. -------- Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://trib.al/KM4k5RA Subscribe to Bloomberg Originals: https://trib.al/dJv9Uw8 Bloomberg Quicktake brings you global social video spanning business, technology, politics and culture.
