Tel Aviv, November 23 (RHC)-- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to resume the Israeli offensive against Gaza as soon as the truce ends.  “We are at war, and we will continue the war,” he said at a cabinet meeting.  “We will continue until we achieve all our goals.”

The Israeli cabinet held a vote on a plan that would halt Israel’s offensive in Gaza for several days.

Netanyahu acknowledged that the Cabinet faced a tough decision, but supporting the ceasefire was the right thing to do.   The Israeli prime minister said that during the lull, intelligence efforts will be maintained, allowing the army to prepare for the next stages of battle.  He said the battle would continue until “Gaza will not threaten Israel.”

Meanwhile, Israel has committed a new massacre after bombing a school housing displaced people in al-Falujah area, west of the Jabaliya camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
