Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is using his Washington summit with US President Donald Trump to push for full American support in eliminating Hamas, according to a member of his delegation.
The Israeli daily Haaretz reported that the Israeli source made it clear that Israel is not committing to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, which requires a full withdrawal from Gaza and the Philadelphi Corridor, unless Hamas is completely defeated.
