Netanyahu: Hamas must realize that international pressure on Israel will not work

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today, Wednesday, that the cancellation of a planned visit by his top aides to Washington this week is aimed at sending a message to Hamas that Israel will not yield to increasing international pressure to stop the war in Gaza.

He said in recorded remarks during a meeting with US Senator Rick Scott, who is visiting Israel, "It was a message first and foremost to Hamas: ‘Don’t bet on this pressure, it’s not going to work.'"
