Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA former deputy head of the Mossad gives kudos to Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman, after Hadashot TV news reported he had agreed to set up a special port for the Gaza Strip in Cyrpus if Hamas returns the bodies of two soldiers and a pair of missing Israelis.
“I am happy that Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman adopted the initiative that I have promoted since 2015 when I was directoral-general of the Intelligence Ministry under the ministers Yuval Steinitz and Israel Katz to establish a dedicated platform at a port in Cyprus for the benefit of residents of the Strip, without harming Israel’s security” tweets Ram Ben-Barak, who earlier this year joined the centrist Yesh Atid party.
“It is possible and also necessary to put this plan into action,” he adds.
