If ceasefire expires, quiet to be met with quiet, minister says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleStrategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz says that he doesn’t know what’s going to happen at midnight, when the 72-hour ceasefire expires.
“Quiet will be answered with quiet. But if Hamas shoots, our counterstrike will be very strong,” he warns at press conference in Jerusalem.
“Demilitarization of Gaza is not just a precondition for any serious real relief for Israelis and Gazans, it’s also precondition for any peace settlement in the future.” Those who still have hope for two-state solution should push for the demilitarization of Gaza, he says.
