TEMPO.CO, Gaza - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he might extend Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip. Speaking at a news conference in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu said the war launched "will be a continued campaign", aimed at restoring "calm and safety to Israeli citizens".
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri responded to Netanyahu's speech, denouncing it as "a pathetic attempt to heal Israel's psyche and the assassination threats of Hamas' leadership reflects the extent of the occupation's violence and their lack of seriousness in achieving a ceasefire".
"These threats will not frighten Hamas leaders. On the contrary, we will continue to protect and defend our people in facing Israeli crimes or foolishness," he said.
