“The very idea of doing that has to be removed from the conversation.

“We (are saying) this to both our enemies and our friends. We will continue (the battle) until we have defeated them (our enemy). We have no alternative. I think today everyone understands that.”

Meanwhile, the health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip revealed that at least 9,770 people had been killed in the Palestinian territory since the war with Israel erupted last month.
