Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, has firmly rejected calls for a ceasefire.

He told the UN that "a ceasefire cements Hamas’s control of Gaza" and sends a mesage that "Hamas is forgiven for their deliberate atrocities".

Erdan also said "Hamas’s oppression of Gazans" had been given a "green light by the international community".

"Without the military pressure applied on Hamas no amount of diplomacy can secure the release of hostages," he added.
