Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will take control of “overall security” of besieged Gaza after the war.

Resisting calls for a ceasefire, Netanyahu said there would be no letup in the war to destroy Hamas.

Netanyahu told ABC News the war would continue until Israel had restored “overall security” control of Gaza.

“Israel will, for an indefinite period, will have the overall security responsibility,” he said. “When we don’t have that security responsibility, what we have is the eruption of Hamas terror on a scale that we couldn’t imagine.”
