Netanyahu blames Abbas for ‘choking’ cash flow to Gaza
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blames Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for “choking” the flow of funds from Gaza, which he says has led to a deterioration in conditions in Strip and in turn has led Hamas to promote violence on the border.
He says Hamas would be making a “big mistake” if it attacked Israel and warns of a strong Israeli response.
