Gaza war to continue: Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told U.S. Republican senators that the war in Gaza will continue.

Netanyahu said this while addressing a video conference on Wednesday (March 20), reports Al-Jazeera.

“We asked … him for an update, and we got it on the war, on the release of the hostages and in the efforts to defeat Hamas. We told him Israel has every right to defend themselves, and he said that’s exactly what they continue to do,” Senator John Barrasso said.

On his virtual call with US Republican Senators on Wednesday, Netanyahu estimated the death toll in Gaza at 28,000. This number is about 4,000 less than the Gaza Health Ministry's data.

Earlier we reported that US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said he was considering inviting Netanyahu to address Congress.
