Israeli leaders: War to go on until Hamas defeated, ‘with or without’ world’s approval

-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Eli Cohen both vowed Wednesday that the military offensive against the Hamas terror group will continue “until the end,” indicating Israel would not buckle to mounting international pressure for a ceasefire. Netanyahu made his remarks during a visit to a detention facility in southern Israel where Hamas gunmen captured in the Gaza Strip are being questioned by the Israel Defense Forces’ human intelligence unit 504. According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu received a briefing about the unit’s work and the interrogation procedures.
