Liberman says there will be no improvements in Gaza’s humanitarian situation until Israel receives signs of life from its civilians held captive by Hamas.

He slams human rights groups for failing to try to contact the Israelis being held in the coastal enclave or working to extract the bodies of two Israeli soldiers being held in the Strip.

There will be no goodwill gestures until “the Red Cross at least visits them,” he says, referring to both the living Israelis and the remains of the soldiers.

He also criticizes international groups over the execution of three Gazans, saying, “I didn’t hear a single condemnation.”
