Israeli Foreign Minister error create a cease-fire with Hamas

Jerusalem .- The Minister of Foreign Affairs Avigdor Lieberman said Monday that the truce with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which has considerably reduced the escalation of violence in the area, is wrong and goes against the national interests of Israel . "Hamas is fighting a war of attrition against us," Lieberman said this morning in a radio interview in which he said that his country can not afford a situation in which "they decide when there is no truce and when the area heats up," to the newspaper "Jerusalem Post" in digital.

Achieved international mediators yesterday that all Palestinian factions agreed to respect a ceasefire after three days of maximum tension and mutual attacks, according to which Israel also gave his consent without official confirmation. The head of Israeli diplomacy demanded compliance with the agreements of the coalition government with the rightist Likud, Benjamin Netanyahu, including the objectives of the executive government to end the Islamist movement Hamas in Gaza.

He also alleged that Hamas used the calm that followed the operation Cast Lead, the end of December 2008 and early January 2009 that killed more than 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis, to rearm and organize. "There was quiet and Hamas took advantage of it to buy more weapons smuggling.

Remember when the Al Qassam (actually GRAD rockets) only had a range of 20 kilometers and now come to Beersheba and Ashdod (40 km), and finally reach Tel Aviv, "said Foreign Minister. Yesterday he lived in Gaza and around the first day of calm after two days in which Palestinian militants fired more than 130 rockets and mortar shells against Israeli territory and the Jewish state's army bombed multiple positions in the Gaza militias that killed 18 people.

Although the fire from the Palestinian territory has not ceased completely since the militia launched on Sunday a dozen shells caused no casualties or damage, these attacks were met by Israel, told Reuters an army spokeswoman. The last launch was yesterday, about nine pm local time (18.00 GMT), then recorded without any incident from Gaza, said the spokeswoman.
