Liberman says Israel won’t halt use of live fire on Gaza border
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael’s defense minister says the military will not change its tough response to Hamas-led mass protests near Gaza’s border with Israel, warning that “anyone who approaches the border is putting their life in danger.”
Avigdor Liberman speaks near Gaza, where 16 Palestinians were said to have been killed by Israeli fire Friday, the first day of what Hamas says will be six weeks of border protests.
Earlier on Tuesday, the international group Human Rights Watch accused Liberman and other senior officials of “unlawfully” calling for the use of live fire against Palestinian protesters who posed no imminent threat to life.
Lieberman signals defiance, saying that “we have established clear ground rules and we do not intend to change them. ”
