Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu Booed, Here's What Happened

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday was booed by the families of hostages taken by Hamas. The incident happened when the Isreal PM was addressing the country's Parliament. While seeking more time to get the hostages out, Netanyahu said the country would not succeed in bringing back the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza without military pressure.

"We wouldn't have succeeded up until now to release more than 100 hostages without military pressure. And we won't succeed at releasing all the hostages without military pressure," Benjamin Netanyahu said in his address.

"Military pressure, operational pressure, and political pressure and that's why there is one thing we won't do - we will not stop fighting," he said.

Netanyahu was answered with the chants of "Now! Now!" by the families of the hostages who were present at the Parliament, demanding to get the loved ones back at the earliest and rejecting Isreal PM's request for more time.

Raising a question for the Israel PM through the media, a man said 'What if it was your child?'

According to the reports, more than 129 hostages are still under Hamas' custody. As collateral damage, three Israeli hostages lost their lives in Gaza earlier this month.

Despite the international pressure to accept the ceasefire, Netanyahu added that the country's armed forces will continue to combat in Gaza in the coming days.

The war "isn't close to finish," said the Israeli PM. "We are not stopping. We are continuing to fight and we are expanding the fight in the coming days," he said, asserting, "The will be a long battle and it isn't close to finished."

The war between Israel and Hamas has already claimed 20,674 lives, mostly women and children. Earlier, Israel and Hamas agreed to a truce in exchange for Israeli hostages with Palestinians locked in Israel's jail for years.
