Bennett opposes temporary ceasefire

Minister of Economics and Trade Naftali Bennett says he is opposed to a temporary ceasefire with Palestinian factions and that he prefers negotiating instead for a more prolonged truce.

“Every limited ceasefire gives Hamas motivation to renew the fire at the end of the predetermined period,” Walla quotes him as saying. “Israel needs to demand an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire and hit hard as long as there isn’t one.”
