Israel will maintain pressure on Hamas until hostages are freed.
Axar.az reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made this statement.
According to him, Hamas' refusal to release hostages will lead to some areas in Gaza permanently coming under Israeli control:
"Fighting in Gaza continues. As long as Hamas refuses to release our hostages, we will increase the pressure. I tell Hamas: This includes territorial control and other things I will not list here."
