Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israel snubs Cairo talks, Hamas vows to continue fighting
2014-08-03
Netanyahu said Israel will keep up its military campaign in the Gaza Strip for as long as needed and with as much force as necessary.

Hamas vowed on Saturday to continue its fight against Israel that has cost more than 1,670 Palestinian lives until the group has achieved its objectives.
It's all they know how to do...
“We will continue our resistance till we achieve our goals,” Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum said, shortly after a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which he claimed to have dealt a “significant blow” to the Islamist movement since the conflict broke out on July 8.

Earlier, Netanyahu said Israel will keep up its military campaign in the Gaza Strip for as long as needed and with as much force as necessary. And he said that all options were “on the table” to achieve that mission.

“From the beginning, we promised to return the quiet to Israel’s citizens and we will continue to act until that aim is achieved. We will take as much time as necessary, and will exert as much force as needed,” he said in a public address. “All options are on the table to return peace to the citizens of Israel.”
Correct. When Jahwn Kerry interfered and completely biffed the "cease-fire" proposal, and then Obama forbade airlines to fly to Israel, they left Bibi with no choice at all to continue. If Gaza can shoot rockets at Israel, what would a Hamas-controlled West Bank do?
He also pledged to do whatever necessary to bring home 23-year-old soldier Hadar Goldin, who Israel believes was captured by Palestinian militants during an ambush in southern Gaza early on Friday.

“Israel will continue to make every effort to bring its missing sons home,” he pledged in remarks made just after the missing soldier’s mother made an emotional appeal demanding there be no troop withdrawal until her son is found.

He said troops would complete the mission of destroying a complex network of tunnels used by militants to infiltrate southern Israel before deciding on its next security objectives.

“After the completion of our activity against the tunnels, the IDF (army) will prepare to continue our activities according to security needs, and only according to our security needs, until we achieve the objective of returning security to the citizens of Israel,” he said.

Netanyahu warned Hamas that it will “pay an intolerable price” if it continues to fire rockets at Israel.

Earlier Saturday, an Israeli official said Israel would not engage in Egypt-hosted truce talks with Hamas for the time being.
