Скачать или смотреть Netanyahu claims progress on Gaza assault as Israelis demand end to war

Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed "around 100,000" Palestinians had fled Gaza City, devastated by famine and intense bombardment.

On the same day, Israel's foreign minister Gideon Saar threatened that international attempts to recognise a Palestinian state could push Israel "to make unilateral decisions", signalling a potential move to formally annex the occupied West Bank.

Their statements come as Israelis gathered in major cities on Saturday night to demand a deal that would return the captives still held in Gaza and end the war.
