Israel will continue the war against the Palestinian movement Hamas in full force following the latter’s rejection of the truce plan tabled by mediators during the talks in Cairo, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday.
“Israel will continue to strive to realize the objectives of the war with Hamas with full force, and leave no stone unturned to return the 133 hostages from Gaza forthwith,” the office said in a statement.
The truce plan “included the most significant flexibility on Israel’s part,” the statement read, which proves that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar “does not want a humanitarian deal.”
