Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told the UN that Israel will fight “until we achieve total victory” if Hamas does not surrender.

Mr Netanyahu, who took to the UN General Assembly podium on Friday, said he was there to refute the untruths he had heard from other leaders on the same rostrum earlier in the week.
