Security source says armored vehicles approved months ago at US request

“The matter was approved at the Americans’ request by the former defense minister [Avigdor Liberman] and the prime minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] more than nine months ago and was delivered to the Palestinians by the Americans already four months ago,” the unnamed source reportedly says.
