Likud MK: Gaza ground incursion must go on
Likud MK Zeev Elkin, chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, says Israel’s ground offensive into the Gaza Strip must continue as long as necessary.
Elkin tells Israel Radio that Hamas must emerge weakened from the confrontation with Israel and that no concessions should be made to the terror group.
Hamas must be forced to stop firing rockets and must be brought to a point where it is asking for a ceasefire, he says.
