Washington: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would consider \u201ctactical little pauses\u201d in Gaza fighting to facilitate the entry of aid or the exit of hostages, but again rejected calls for a general ceasefire despite growing international pressure. Speaking in a US television interview, Netanyahu, whose country has vowed to destroy Gaza\u2019s Hamas rulers, said he thought Israel would need security responsibility over the Palestinian enclave for an \u201cindefinite period\u201d after the war.<\/span><\/p>\n Asked about the potential for humanitarian pauses in fighting, an idea supported by Israel\u2019s top ally the United States, Netanyahu said a general ceasefire would hamper his country\u2019s war effort.<\/p>\n \u201cAs far as tactical little pauses \u2013 an hour here, an hour there \u2013 we\u2019ve had them before. I suppose we\u2019ll check the circumstances in order to enable goods, humanitarian goods to come in, or our hostages, individual hostages, to leave,\u201d Netanyahu told ABC News on Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I don\u2019t think there\u2019s going to be a general ceasefire.\u201d<\/p>\n Both Israel and the Hamas operatives who control Gaza have rebuffed mounting international pressure for a ceasefire. Israel says hostages taken by Hamas during its rampage in southern Israel on Oct. 7 should be released first. Hamas says it will not free them nor stop fighting while Gaza is under assault.<\/p>\n Since the attack in which Hamas killed 1,400 people in Israel and seized more than 240 hostages, Israel has struck Gaza from the air, imposed a siege, and launched a ground assault, stirring global alarm at humanitarian conditions in the enclave.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] Washington: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would consider \u201ctactical little pauses\u201d in Gaza fighting to facilitate the entry of aid or the exit of hostages, but again rejected calls for a general ceasefire despite growing international pressure.
