Title: Netanyahu: Pressures to End the War Are Inconsistent with Supporting the Elimination of Hamas

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected international calls to end the war in Gaza on Sunday, describing them as inconsistent with the war's objective of eliminating the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas." In a statement to his government, he said, "I told leaders from France, Germany, and other countries that you cannot support the elimination of Hamas on one hand and pressure us to end the war on the other, which would prevent the elimination of Hamas."
