Tzipi Livni says she fully backs attempted hit on Muhammad Deif
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJustice Minister Tzipi Livni tells Ynet that she supports Israel’s attempted assassination of Hamas military commander Muhammad Deif last night in Gaza.
“Every person who commits terror, his liquidation is not just legitimate but desirable, in my opinion,” she says.
Livni adds that she generally supports targeted assassinations of terror leaders and reiterates her belief that there is no negotiating with Hamas.
Deif’s house was struck by the IDF last night, killing his wife and daughter, according Gaza health officials.
It is not yet clear if Deif was hit.
