Bibi: Israel has 'nothing against' Gazans

Israel has "nothing against the people of Gaza" and wants to help them deal with the "tyranny" of Hamas rule, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News on Thursday.

"I'm not sure the battle is over," he told the cable network's "Hannity" program, a month after the start of the Israel offensive that has claimed nearly 2,000 mostly Palestinian lives.

"I think we've degraded their (Hamas) capabilities significantly," he said, adding there may still remain tunnels dug by Hamas under the Gaza-Israel border that have yet to be found.

"It really depends on whether they want to continue this battle. I think we have to find a peaceful solution, if we can," he added.

He added: "We have nothing against the people of Gaza. In fact, we want to help the people of Gaza who are suffering under this terror tyranny."
