NNA – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday his cancelation of a planned visit to Washington by top aides this week was meant to show Hamas that Israel would not bend to growing international pressure to halt the war in Gaza.
ldquo;It was a message first and foremost to Hamas: lsquo;Donrsquo;t bet on this pressure, itrsquo;s not going to work,rsquo;rdquo; he said in videoed comments at a meeting with visiting US Senator Rick Scott.–Reuters
