Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected Hamas' proposed ceasefire terms, saying "total victory" in Gaza is possible within months.

He spoke after Hamas put forward a series of demands in response to an Israeli-backed ceasefire proposal.

He said negotiations with the group were "going nowhere" and described their demands as "strange".

Talks between the negotiators are continuing.

"There is no other option but a complete and final victory," Mr Netanyahu told a news conference on Wednesday.

"If Hamas survives in Gaza, it is only a matter of time until the next massacre."

Reuters news agency quoted a senior Hamas official as saying that Mr. Netanyahu's comments on the ceasefire proposal show that he intends to continue the conflict in the region.

Hamas is prepared to deal with all options, the official was quoted as saying.
