Getting rid of Hamas is a necessary condition for any wider diplomatic breakthrough, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman told The Jerusalem Post in an interview on Tuesday.
“In order to make a diplomatic process possible, we have to get rid of Hamas,” he said. “As long as Hamas is strong on the ground, controls Gaza, and is popular in Judea and Samaria, a diplomatic process is simply impossible.”
Israel’s conflict is not with the Palestinians, but rather with the Arab world, and has three dimensions: the Arab countries, the Palestinians, and the “split identity” of the Israeli Arabs, Liberman said. What was needed was one package that would solve – or as he said, “arrange” – Israel’s “relations with all three dimensions at one time.”
