Israel does not have a set time by which it seeks to finish Operation Guardian of the Walls, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a briefing to foreign ambassadors on Wednesday.

“We’re not standing with a stopwatch in our hand, rather, we are making sure to meet the goals of this operation,” Netanyahu said in response to a question about when this round of fighting will end, according to a source in the meeting.
