Israel rejects UN resolution calling for ceasefire in Gaza

Tel Aviv, The Gulf Observer: Israel has said Tel Aviv would not allow a ceasefire in Gaza at this time, claiming that it will only benefit the Palestinian group Hamas.

A ceasefire can only be reached after Hamas is defeated, said OfIr Gendelman, a spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at a press conference, while rejecting a UN resolution that asked Tel Aviv for a ceasefire.
