Meeting US Secretary Blinken, Israeli PM Netanyahu asserted "I told him we have sworn, and I have sworn, to destroy Hamas. Nothing will stop us." Netanyahu insisted to the visiting dignitary "This is the same Hamas" behind the October massacre and ongoing terror plots. His forceful comments came shortly after a Jerusalem attack killing 3 Israelis was claimed by Hamas. The group called it a "natural response" to occupation "crimes." Netanyahu's uncompromising stand on obliterating Hamas contrasts with cautious US-backed efforts to sustain an uneasy truce. But he remains singularly focused on decisively crushing the "same Hamas", impervious to growing international calls for Gaza calm.
