Lieberman says next war on resistance is last one

Israeli Minister of Military Affairs Avigdor Lieberman says Israel would "completely destroy" Hamas in any future conflict with the besieged Gaza Strip.

Lieberman made the threats in an interview with the Palestinian Al-Quds newspaper published Monday.

Lieberman said that while Israel has no interest in renewed conflict with Gaza, "if they force a new war on us it will be Hamas' last because we will completely destroy them."

The firebrand figure claimed that ‘radical elements’ in Gaza intent on Israel's destruction ‘prevented Israel from investing in opportunities to rehabilitate the coastal enclave.’
