Livni: Israel should strike Hamas again to halt arms smuggling
25.01.2009
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Sunday that Israel had achieved most of the goals of its offensive on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, but added that she would support striking the Islamist group again to halt its ongoing smuggling of weapons.
"We embarked on the operation in order to bring quiet [to the south] - now there is quiet, and [also] to stop the firing of rockets - now the firing has stopped," she said in an interview with Channel 1.
"As far as I am concerned, we could hit Hamas with another military blow. The smuggling of weapons into Gaza is the same as firing [rockets] onto Israel, and the world sees that as well," Livni added.
