Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected terms proposed by Hamas to pause the fighting in Gaza, saying that “total victory” against the terrorist group could be achieved within months.
During a Feb. 6 news conference held shortly after a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Mr. Netanyahu said it’s only a “matter of months” before Israel achieves its military goals—that is, to eradicate all of Hamas’s fighting forces in Gaza and destroy the entire underground tunnel network.
