Netanyahu of Israel declares that the war against Hamas will go on with "until the victory"

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, rebuffed rising international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza on Saturday, stating that Israel will continue to fight Hamas and ruling out the present Palestinian Authority government having a role in the conflict's aftermath.

In a videotaped statement, Netanyahu declared, "With all our force, with all our might, we'll continue until the victory."

In response to inquiries regarding Gaza's potential post-conflict governance, Netanyahu stated that "full security control in Gaza, with the IDF's ability to enter whenever we want, to kill terrorists who can reappear," would prevail. The Palestinian Authority currently holds partial administrative control over the occupied West Bank.

"I can tell you what will not be - there will not be Hamas. Moreover, there will not be a civilian authority there that educates its children to hate Israel, to kill Israelis, eliminate the state of Israel," he added.

"There will need to be a different thing, but in any case, with our security control."
