Netanyahu: Israel to Continue Gaza Operation
(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday evening: "Operation Protective Edge is continuing. The IDF is continuing to operate with full strength in order to complete the goals of the operation: The restoration of quiet and the restoration of security for a lengthy period for the citizens of Israel while inflicting significant damage on the terrorist infrastructures." "Hamas is the same organization that, together with Qatar, assured U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon regarding a cease-fire. It misled both of them. I welcome the clear and sharp statements by U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Kerry, who placed the direct responsibility for violating the cease-fire on Hamas."
