Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Friday the Gaza offensive will not end until the “elimination” of Hamas’s capacity to govern and fight, after US President Joe Biden said Israel had offered a new peace roadmap, AFP reports.

“The prime minister authorised the negotiating team to present an outline for achieving this goal, while insisting that the war will not end until all of its goals are achieved, including the return of all our hostages and the elimination of Hamas’ military and governmental capabilities,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.
