Netanyahu rejects Hamas ceasefire, vows ‘total victory’

On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that a total victory in Gaza was achievable, rejecting Hamas's latest ceasefire proposal aimed at securing the release of hostages still held in the besieged enclave.

Netanyahu added that there was no alternative for Israel but causing the collapse of Hamas.

"The day after is the day after Hamas. All of Hamas," he told a news conference.

He said that no part of the Gaza Strip would be immune and that "There is no other solution except total victory".
