00:00 Israeli strikes continue to batter Gaza.
00:03 A relentless air and ground offensive shows no sign of let up.

00:31 The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects global calls for a ceasefire.
00:38 He visited Israeli troops in northern Gaza on Monday, saying Israel would not succeed
00:44 in freeing its remaining hostages without applying military pressure.
00:48 In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, he lists three prerequisites for peace.
00:54 He says Hamas must be destroyed, Gaza must be demilitarized,
00:59 and Palestinian society must be de-radicalized.
01:01 Also on Monday, Netanyahu addressed the Knesset during a special session
01:07 about the 129 hostages Israel says remain in Gaza.
01:11 Relatives chanted "Now, now" as he said Israeli forces needed more time.
01:22 Protesters in Tel Aviv gathered at an Israeli defense ministry complex,
01:26 laying out hourglasses to say that time is running out for each of the hostages still
01:31 in Hamas captivity.
