BBC World Service - Newshour, Increasing pressure on Netanyahu to reach new deal with Hamas

Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu says the military campaign in Gaza must continue

Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu says the military campaign in Gaza must continue.

The pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a new deal with Hamas on hostages is increasing. Mr Netanyahu said the fighting in Gaza would continue. We hear from Sharon Lifshitz, her mother was taken hostage by Hamas and freed a month ago but her father remains captive and she calls for a change of strategy from the Israeli government. 

Also on the programme: a Vatican court has sentenced a cardinal to five years for embezzlement; and the indirect consequences of Israel's war on Hamas are making the world's biggest shipping companies suspend sailings through the Red Sea.
