Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday said that he's "determined" to continue the offensive in Gaza, rebuffing President Joe Biden's call for an immediate and significant "de-escalation" in the fighting.
Netanyahu said the operation will continue "until its aim is met," per the Associated Press.
The Israeli prime minister thanked the US for its support, but said the offensive will move forward in order "to return the calm and security to you, citizens of Israel."
The White House earlier on Wednesday released a readout of a call between Biden and Netanyahu that said the president told the Israeli leader he "expected a significant de-escalation today on the path to a ceasefire."
Netanyahu has resisted growing international calls for a cease-fire. In a meeting with foreign ambassadors prior to his call with Biden, the Israeli prime minister said, "We're not standing with a stopwatch. We want to achieve the goals of the operation. Previous operations lasted a long time so it is not possible to set a timeframe."

In some parts of the world, men actually have real gonads.
Why listen to Biden, no one else is the world cares to do what he wants.
It’s clear the Israeli political establishment (not just Bibi) has long term plans to survive in a world without the USA.
Pray for Israel.
my Lord! amazing. Bibi has actually grown a pair!?
maybe he will empty out all the Fakestinians and their terrorist murder gangs, including the 150,000 rocket bombs on the northern border
will Bibi remain serious about defending his people?
or will he cave in to some more appeasement and will he actually give the Fakestinians time again to re-arm and re-deploy their attack forces, like Israel always has done?
Biden to Bibi: Surrender today.
Bibi to Biden: Nuts.
Where are the calls for the Philistines to de-escalate?
If this were World War II, here’s what Biden would say:
We call for our Allies to De-escalate against the German bombardment of England, to ensure the peace and safety of the German people.
How about nooooo?
“I told Bibi to de-escalate and, sonovabitch...hey, what the hell just happened??? I need another pudding cup.”
“I told Bibi to de-escalate and, sonovabitch...hey, what the hell just happened??? I need another pudding cup.”
Bibi has the moral high ground and is going to press his advantage and ruin Hamas for a generation!
Good. Biden is the enemy too.
“”I got this, Mr. Biden. Now, if you will excuse me, I have some Carpet Bombing to do.”
Resident Joe Biden just has to be patient.
The IDF target list is getting shorter.
It is beneath PM Netanyahu to respond to a decrepit pedophile monster such a fraud PedoJoe bin Bidet.
No one is afraid of Joe Biden except the GOP-e.
Might as well get settled in and used to people rebuffing demented joe.
