After four months of war, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has now destroyed 70% of Hamas. He says the remaining battalions are in the southern part of Gaza.
Netanyahu remains at odds with the Biden administration on scaling back military operations. In a separate briefing on Sunday, he stressed that Israel is a sovereign state.
We make our own decisions, even in those instances where there is no agreement with our American friends.
Israel has vowed to end Hamas, demilitarize Gaza, and bring home the remaining hostages. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is returning to the region this week.
