Israeli FM rejects international pressure for Gaza ceasefire
Israel's foreign minister rejected on Tuesday what he called a "distorted campaign" of international pressure for a ceasefire in the Gaza war and recognition of a Palestinian state.
Gideon Saar told reporters that Israel ending the conflict while Hamas is still in power in Gaza and holding hostages would be a "tragedy for both Israelis and Palestinians".
"It ain't gonna happen, no matter how much pressure is put on Israel," he said.
