(Reuters) -Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel has no choice but to "complete the job" and defeat Hamas, given the Palestinian group's refusal to lay down its arms.

Netnayahu also told a news conference that his new Gaza offensive plans aim to tackle two remaining Hamas strongholds.
