"With or Without International Support" - Israel Will Continue Its War on Hamas

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen stated today, Wednesday, that "agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza at this stage would be a mistake, and Israel will continue its war on Hamas with or without international support." Cohen added, "Israel will continue the war on Hamas regardless of international backing," emphasizing that "a ceasefire at this current stage would be a gift to the terrorist organization Hamas, and would allow it to threaten the people of Israel once again." He also urged the international community to act "effectively and decisively" to protect global shipping routes.
