In response to yesterday’s UN Security Council vote calling for both Israel and Hamas to agree to a ceasefire deal, an Israeli official says that “Israel will not end the war before achieving all of its goals — eliminating Hamas’s military and civil capabilities, returning all of our hostages, and ensuring that Gaza never again represents a threat to Israel.”
“The proposal that was presented allows Israel to meet these conditions, and it will do so,” says the official, reiterating previous statements on the ceasefire terms that US President Joe Biden outlined in a speech late last month.
