Impossible to completely eradicate Hamas as Netanyahu seeks - Lavrov

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refers to the total eradication of Hamas as a key precondition for a ceasefire in Gaza, but this objective is unrealistic, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters at the end of his visit to Malaysia.
"In my opinion, and many of my colleagues share this point of view, it is an unrealistic tasks to eradicate the organization which exists, which has enough capabilities and enough support, including in the Muslim world," the minister said.
