Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman resigns, slams Gaza ceasefire – By Russia Today Newsroom (rt.com) / Nov 14 2018
Israel Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman has resigned as a protest against the ceasefire in Gaza, calling the deal a “capitulation to terror”.
In a televised live address, Liberman called yesterday’s ceasefire a “surrender to terror” that only achieves “short-term quiet” while damaging Israel’s “long-term security.”
A writer for Haaretz said that the ex-defense minister “looked quite cheerful” as he announced his resignation.
Lieberman strongly opposed the Israeli government’s decision to agree to a truce with Hamas, apparently arguing that Tel Aviv should take “harsh, decisive” actions against Gaza.
