Liberman: ‘If the Palestinians pay, they’ll get electricity’

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says Israel is willing to restart its supply of electricity to the Gaza Strip when the Palestinians are prepared to pay for it.

In an interview posted on the Arabic-language website of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), Liberman says: “If the Palestinians pay, they will get electricity.”

“This is a difficult situation,” he adds before calling on the residents of Gaza to demand that Hamas work towards improving quality of life in the Strip rather than expanding its military infrastructure.
