Published February 21, 2024 3:00am ET



Israel faces “considerable pressure” to halt the war in Gaza, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who vowed to eliminate Hamas despite an uncertain political and diplomatic path in Israel and the United States.

“There is considerable pressure on Israel at home and abroad to stop the war before we achieve all of its goals, including a deal at any price to free the hostages,” Netanyahu said Tuesday. “We are committed to continuing the war until we achieve all of its goals: Eliminating Hamas, releasing all of the hostages, and ensuring that Gaza never again constitutes a threat to Israel.”
