Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman sharply criticized Israel’s Gaza policy today (Sunday), accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of allowing hundreds of aid trucks into the Strip while Hamas prepares for the next attack. “While Hamas is rearming and preparing for the next massacre, Netanyahu continues to flood the Strip with hundreds of ‘aid’ trucks carrying Coca-Cola, gummy candies, and Nutella, and is allowing Gaza reconstruction to begin before Hamas is disarmed,” Liberman wrote on X.
Liberman claimed Netanyahu is returning Israel to the pre-October 7 mindset, pointing to the return of kite terror: “Three years after the massacre, Hamas still hasn’t been defeated or disarmed—on the contrary, it has grown stronger. Hamas terrorists are watching our soldiers, officers and lookouts are warning that fighters’ hands are being tied, those same white vans loaded with armed men are driving around the Strip again, and residents of the Gaza border communities are finding terror kites in their fields that were launched from Gaza.” Earlier today, Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered Israeli forces to act with great force and immediately against the phenomenon of balloons, kites, and drones being launched from the Gaza Strip toward communities in the western Negev and the Gaza border area. The minister’s directive came in response to terror organizations in the Strip attempting to renew aerial terror.
