Cabinet ministers Liberman, Bennett want Gaza strikes to continue

Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s office says media reports claiming he was in favor of renewing the terms outlined in the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire agreement with Hamas are “fake news.”

The statement says Liberman does not support stopping the Israeli strikes on Hamas targets in Gaza.

Education Minister Naftali Bennett also releases a statement saying he opposes stopping the airstrikes.

“Reports that Bennett supported the cessation of strikes against Hamas targets are a complete lie,” his office says in a statement.
