Liberman: No humanitarian improvement in Gaza without release of Israelis

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman also says there will not be an improvement in the humanitarian situation in Gaza until Israel and Hamas reach an agreement on the release of Israelis held by Hamas and the return to Israel of the bodies of two IDF soldiers held by the group.

“There won’t be an improvement in the humanitarian situation until we reach an agreement on our captives,” he says.

He then adds more generally: “Our principle is rehabilitation for disarmament. Without the disarmament of Gaza, we won’t allow its rehabilitation.”
