Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday rejected a proposal for a Gaza war truce by Hamas, saying victory was within reach and only total defeat of the movement that rules the blockaded strip would ensure Israel’s security.
“We are on the path to total victory. Victory is within reach,” he said at a televised press briefing, adding that triumph was months away. “Only total victory will allow us to restore security in Israel, both in the north and in the south.”
Israeli hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin joins Talk Today to discuss the situation.
Gershon Baskin feels that the main problem of the hostage deal is the demand of the “Hamas” for Israel to surrender.
