Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the leaders of France, Britain and Canada of encouraging Hamas militants. They condemned the recent expansion of the Israeli offensive in Gaza, AFP reported.

"They want Israel to withdraw and accept that the army of Hamas mass murderers will survive, will rebuild and will repeat the October 7 massacre," Netanyahu said in a video after the three leaders' joint statement, adding that "they may think they are promoting peace. But they don't. They are encouraging Hamas to continue fighting forever." | BGNES
