PM Netanyahu Continues Series of Interviews in the International Media

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Monday, 21 July 2014),
continued a series of interviews in the international media. He was
interviewed on Sky Arabic, Fox and NBC

. He told Sky Arabic:
"They [Hamas] have taken billions of dollars. Instead of building
kindergartens with it, they're building tunnels, concrete tunnels to blow up
our kindergartens.
I can tell you that we opened up a hospital, a field hospital, a
humanitarian field hospital on the edge of Gaza and Hamas doesn't let the
people come there. They're hiding rockets in hospitals; they're hiding arms
in hospitals; they're shooting from hospitals. So they just don't care.
I agreed now to three different calls for ceasefires. We kept them even
though Hamas kept firing and they violated every one of those ceasefire
calls: the Egyptian ceasefire, the UN ceasefire, the Red Cross ceasefire. We
kept them, they broke them.
The goal is to restore quiet and security for the people of Israel for a
significant period of time and we'll take whatever action is necessary to
achieve that goal."
