Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s calls for a humanitarian pause shortly after the latter’s press conference on Friday, saying Israel will continue to bombard the Gaza Strip with “all of its power.”
Blinken told reporters in Israel that during a meeting with Netanyahu earlier that day, he urged Israel to pursue a pause in fighting and gave advice about how to minimize Palestinian civilian deaths while targeting Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu soon after said, during his own press conference, that Israel “refuses a temporary cease-fire that doesn’t include a return of our hostages.” Over 200 hostages were taken by Hamas following the militant group’s surprise attack on Israeli soil on Oct. 7 that killed 1,400 people.
