00:00 One month into the war between Hamas and Israel, new bombings hit Gaza and flares lit the sky,
00:08 allowing Israeli troops to continue their ground offensive.
00:12 While the soldiers moved closer to the heart of Gaza City,
00:16 the Israeli Prime Minister gave his first interview to the foreign press,
00:21 with some indications of his goals for the next phases of the war.
00:26 I think Israel will, for an indefinite period, will have the overall security responsibility
00:35 because we've seen what happens when we don't have it.
00:38 In another key answer, Netanyahu said short humanitarian truces would be possible
00:45 to allow aid into Gaza, but he excluded a ceasefire.
00:50 Well, there'll be no ceasefire, general ceasefire in Gaza without the release of our hostages.
00:56 I think it will hamper the war effort.
00:58 A position backed again by the U.S. at the U.N.
01:03 We've talked about humanitarian pauses and we're interested in pursuing language on that score,
01:08 but there are disagreements within the council.
01:13 Many countries and some of Israel's allies are pushing for a full ceasefire
01:19 and pressure rises as airstrikes make more and more Palestinian victims.
01:26 Gaza is becoming a graveyard for children.
01:30 Hundreds of girls and boys are reportedly being killed or injured every day.
01:36 The Israelis say their goal is to dismantle Hamas,
01:40 yet despite their incursion and intense battles with the group,
01:44 Hamas continues to fire rockets at Israel from the Gaza Strip
01:49 and it says it's also behind rockets fired from Lebanon on Monday.
