Likud minister: Hamas may have tried to embarrass Netanyahu with rocket fire
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEnergy Minister Yuval Steinitz, a close confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggests Hamas’s rocket fire early this morning may have been meant to “embarrass” Netanyahu ahead of the April 9 elections.
“Israel will respond forcefully but with careful judgment to the fire at the Sharon region,” Steinitz, a member of the security cabinet that votes for military operations, tells the Ynet news site.
“No one has a solution to the problems created by the Oslo agreement,” he insists.
“It’s possible Hamas fired [the rocket] in order to embarrass Prime Minister Netanyahu ahead of the elections,” he adds.
