Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Wednesday to continue the war against Hamas "until victory" despite "painful losses" among the army's ranks. Netanyahu said in a television speech hours after the army announced that soldiers had been killed during the last 24 hours in battles in Gaza, “We have achieved many important achievements, but we also have painful losses,” adding, “We are fighting a difficult war, and it will be long.”

On the political level, the United States and other Western countries reject the ceasefire under the pretext that it serves the interests of the Hamas movement, while Bolivia decided to sever its relations with Israel, and Colombia and Chile recalled their ambassadors from there in protest against the massacres committed by the occupation against civilians in Gaza.
