"Operation Protective Edge continues," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the beginning of the weekly Cabinet meeting, indicating Israel is not backing down from its demand that negotiations to reach a long-term ceasefire in Gaza be conducted.
With talks underway in Cairo to reach ceasefire deal, all eyes are now pointed at Israel, with the Israeli delegation refusing to return to talks while rocket fire continues.
"At no stage did we declare its conclusion. The operation will continue until its goal is met – the restoration of a quiet for a long period. I said at the outset that the operation would take time and patience.
"Israel will not negotiate under fire and Israel will continue to take all action in order to change the current reality and bring quiet to all of its citizens. We will stand together, united and determined, until we complete the work."
