Israel PM rejects Gaza ceasefire as 'surrender to Hamas'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that a ceasefire in the conflict with Hamas will not happen, as the UN warns that there is not enough aid coming in to meet the "unprecedented humanitarian needs" in Gaza. The Israeli ground forces have been fighting inside the Gaza Strip and carrying out air strikes on the Hamas-controlled territory. The intensifying military operations have increased concerns for the 2.4 million inhabitants of Gaza, where over 8,300 people have been killed.
