Lithuania: ‘Israel has every right to defend itself’
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius also takes to Twitter in light of the current violence to insist that “Israel has every right to defend itself.”
“Hamas has launched about 150 rockets from #Gaza at Israeli communities over night,” he writes. “I condemn these provocative & dangerous actions & call to restraine [sic] from further escalation of violance [sic]. Israel has every right to defend itself.”
Closely following reports from #Israel. #Hamas has launched about 150 rockets from #Gaza at Israeli communities over night. I condemn these provocative & dangerous actions & call to restraine from further escalation of violance. Israel has every right to defend itself. @IsraelMFA
