Liberman: ‘No choice’ but to strike Hamas hard, even if widens conflict
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says Israel has no choice but to strike the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza forcefully, even if such a move would drag Israel into a full-blown military confrontation.
“There is no chance for a [ceasefire] deal with Hamas,” says Liberman at the Maariv conference. “From the perspective of the IDF, we are in the best shape since ’67. We have no choice but to strike Hamas hard, even if it leads to a full confrontation.”
He is speaking amid soaring tensions on the Israel-Gaza border.
