Based on the data Israel's prime leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, has stated that there would never be a complete ceasefire in Gaza.
According to Netanyahu, he would only consent to a limited ceasefire that would not put an end to the fighting in Gaza. He was speaking of the 120 prisoners that remain in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli prime minister made a late-night television broadcast on Sunday, pledging to eliminate Hamas militants. Netanyahu stated that he was prepared to make a partial deal, which is no secret, to retrieve some of the people.
"But we're still determined to finish what we started and bring the battle back to destroy Hamas. That is something I refuse to give up on."
His remarks could be another setback for peace mediators trying to bring an end to the conflict, as Israel and Hamas appear to be slipping apart over the current cease-fire arrangement.
