Israel PM rejects Gaza ceasefire as 'surrender to Hamas'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds a press conference with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz in the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv, Israel on Oct 28, 2023. JERUSALEM: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday a ceasefire in Israel's war against Hamas"will not happen", as the United Nations warned not enough aid was coming in to meet"unprecedented humanitarian needs".

As Israeli forces battled Hamas militants inside the narrow Palestinian territory and sent tanks to the outskirts of Gaza City, concern has surged about the widening humanitarian crisis.Kirby said Washington was"confident" of increasing the number of aid trucks to Gaza through the Rafah crossing with Egypt to around 100 a day.

The Israeli Prime Minister's office said late Monday that food and medicines entering Gaza are"controlled and inspected by Israeli security personnel" and"delivered via Egypt". Air strikes also cratered the road and brought down buildings, residents said, before the tanks withdrew. The release of Ori Megidish was"secured during a ground operation," the army said, adding she had been"medically checked" and was"doing well".

Israel confirmed the death of one of those missing - German-Israeli Shani Louk, 23, who was captured by Hamas when its gunmen stormed a desert music festival.
