The Israeli Prime Minister's again ruling out a ceasefire in Gaza, but says he will consider 'tactical little pauses' in his country's military offensive.

There's been growing international pressure for the fighting to be halted to allow aid in and hostages to get out of Gaza.

After talks with Joe Biden , Benjamin Netanyahu said pauses in fighting would continue to be considered based on circumstances.

Meanwhile Irishman Tony Hand whose daughter was initially feared dead in a Hamas attack, says he wants to see his daughter singing and dancing again.

8 year old Emily Hand who has Irish-Israeli nationality is now understood to be among those being held hostage by Hamas.

Her father says he hopes she is being cared for.

'From one week you're thinking the nightmare is over,  to ok, I'm back in it.  We're all back in it now.  I hope somebody with a heart is taking care of her.'
