‘A Gaza port would be a duty-free for rockets’

During this morning’s cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz says, “We must stand firm on the demilitarization issue. A port will be like a duty-free for rockets. In the future there will be Scuds and Zelzal missiles there.”

He adds, “We are continuing in our contacts with Egypt. Our conduct is responsible and measured. The most important thing in my opinion is that Gaza be demilitarized. As long as that is not done, it will just make the situation on the ground worse.
