National Unity chair and war cabinet minister Benny Gantz says, “There will not be a ceasefire of even one day until the hostages are returned.”
“The fighting will continue until our goals are achieved. It can continue even in the month of Ramadan. Either the hostages will be returned, or we will extend the fighting to Rafah,” Gantz says in a statement.
