Benjamin Netanyahu dismisses Israel-Hamas war cease-fire demands as U.K. limits weapons exports

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he will "not give in to pressure" to agree to a cease-fire with Hamas in the face of massive protests in his country as well as President Biden saying he's not doing enough to end the nearly 11-month war in Gaza and Britain's government restricting the sale of some weapons to Israel.

Speaking Monday after dramatic protests following the killing of six Israeli hostages, Netanyahu said he would not back down on some of his demands in the ongoing cease-fire negotiations aimed at stopping the fighting, at least temporarily, to allow the release of dozens of hostages still held in Gaza.

In the televised address late Monday night, Netanyahu asked for forgiveness for not saving the six hostages, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. According to Israeli officials, they were killed by Hamas hours before their bodies were recovered. All six were found by the Israeli military in a Hamas tunnel over the weekend.
