FALCON POWERS – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ruled out reaching a ceasefire agreement.
During his meeting today with the families of the kidnapped, he added, “I’m not sure there will be an agreement,” but if there is an agreement, it will be the one that preserves the interests I have repeatedly stressed, which is to preserve Israel’s strategic interests.
He continued, saying: “I told Blinken in the meeting that under no circumstances will Israel withdraw from the Philadelphi axis and the Nitsarim passage despite the pressures.”
He said, “We will continue until Hamas is destroyed and the objectives of the war are achieved.”
