(Avigdor) Lieberman: Gaza still Hamastan

[Scurrilous]

'Politicians caused offensive to fail by not allowing IDF to seize control over Philadelphi route, Rafah crossing,' Yisrael Beiteinu chairman says. Meretz: Israelis must consider other issues before casting their ballots in upcoming elections

"Cabinet's decision to declare a unilateral ceasefire in Gaza was a mistake, Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman told Ynet Sunday.

"The IDF's operation in Gaza didn’t change a thing, and Hamas is going to get exactly what it needs – including the reopening of the crossings," he said. "Gaza is still Hamastan and serves as an Iranian base.

"The operation was very impressive on a military level, but it wasn't translated into political achievements. The politicians caused the offensive to fail; they did not allow the IDF to seize control over the Philadelphi route (Egypt-Gaza border) and the Rafah crossing; this only accentuates the need for a leadership change (in Israel)."

Lieberman continued to say that "it is clear that Hizbullah is also gearing up for another round of fighting, and now we have shown it our inability to defeat an organization just two feet away from us (Hamas)."

2. Avigdor speaks for very few Israelis

hopefully he's proven wrong.
