Netanyahu hits back over global pressure to make cease-fire concessions, says demands are ‘immoral’, ‘insane’ [Video]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fiercely defended his insistence on maintaining control of the strategically important Philadelphi Corridor even as critics urge him to concede on that point to try and ensure a deal to release hostages.

“What has changed? What has changed in this week?” Netanyahu said during an English-language press conference on Wednesday. “What’s changed is that they murdered six of our hostages in cold blood.”

“Now the world will seriously demand that Israel make concessions after this massacre. What messages are sent to Hamas?” he continued. “I’ll tell you what the message is: Murder more hostages, you will get more concessions. That’s not only illogical. It’s not only immoral, it’s downright insane. So, it’s not going to happen.”
