The Prime Minister of Israel puts the matter clearly. “The war will not end until we destroy Hamas”

No agreement on the Hamas-Izrael line

The Israeli government wants the further truce to be released by the release of subsequent hostages, but emphasizes that its purpose is also to eliminate the military force of Hamas and remove him from power in the Gaza Strip. Hamas declares that The dismissal of the kidnapped must be associated with the warranty of the end of the war and the withdrawal of the Israelis, as the original findings predicted.
The end of the war on the terms of Hamas would show that Terrorism pays off And it would be a message for all Israel's enemies that our country can be defeated by hostage to kidnap – emphasized Netanyahu.
The Prime Minister also criticized the Israeli who “irresponsibly call until the end of the war by surrendering to the request of Hamas”, By accusing them of duplicating the propaganda of this terrorist group, and as a result, they dismiss, and do not introduce the moment of release of hostages.

There have been regular anti -government demonstrations since the resumption of fighting in Israel. Protesters accuse the prime minister that he returned to the war for political reasons, disregarding the fate of hostages. Extremely right -wing Netanyahu coalition partners, on which the survival of his government depends, oppose the agreement with Hamas.
