JERUSALEM: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Tuesday to ramp up Israel´s military campaign against Gaza, after an Egyptian truce plan failed to end eight days of cross-border fire.
"This would have been better resolved diplomatically, that´s what we tried to do when we accepted the Egyptian truce proposal today," he said of the conflict which has so far resulted in 194 Palestinian and one Israeli deaths.
"But Hamas leaves us no choice but to expand and intensify the campaign against it," Netanyahu said. (AFP)
