Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Wednesday with US Senator Rick Scott in his office in Jerusalem.
Netanyahu touched on Washington's decision not to use its veto on a resolution calling for an "immediate ceasefire" in Gaza, saying that "this encouraged Hamas to adopt a tougher stance and rely on international pressure that may hinder Israel from freeing its kidnappers and destroying Hamas."
He pointed out, "The decision I took not to let the Israeli delegation travel to Washington was a message to Hamas, so that they do not rely on this pressure. This will not work."
