The first order that Avigdor Liberman gave when he entered the Army Ministry in Tel Aviv, was to complete an operative plan to defeat Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Israel Pulse news site reported.
Israel's new Army Minister Avigdor Lieberman asked Israeli senior officers to draft a military plan to topple Hamas rule in Gaza, commentator Ben Caspit wrote.
“Lieberman does believe that the Gaza Strip is ready to overthrow Hamas,” said Caspit. “The group’s standing among the general population is being challenged, and quite a few of the local clans and tribes are already seeking an alternative.”
“Lieberman believes that Hamas is the ultimate evil. As such, its regime must be brought down, and its growing stock of rockets, within touching distance of the southern city of Ashkelon, must be eliminated,” the article further read.
According to the same source, the army minister believes that if Israel doesn’t do that now, within just a few years it will have another Hezbollah on its hands.
“That is why Lieberman has instructed the Israeli (occupation) forces to prepare an operational plan to defeat and overthrow Hamas in the next round of fighting,” Caspit further noted.
