(Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories - COGAT) Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman - Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman addressed the Palestinian population of Gaza on Thursday: "After the Iranians managed to totally destroy Yemen, Sudan, Lebanon and Syria, they are starting to do precisely the same thing in Gaza." "The regime leaders in Tehran have no interest in the sorry state of affairs in Gaza or the children's future there. What does interest them is extremist ideology and inflicting as much damage as possible to the State of Israel." "After the Iranians arrive in Gaza, no international body will invest a penny there. After Operation Protective Edge [in 2014] we allowed the international community to construct projects at a cost of billions of dollars. If the Iranians become the dominant influence, no one will put up a penny." [Hamas leaders] "Yahya Sinwar, Saleh al-Aruri and others are nothing but glorified salesmen for the Shiites - for the Iranians - in Gaza. They serve the interests of Iran and of the Revolutionary Guard. Saleh al-Aruri is under the patronage of Hizbullah in Lebanon." "I suggest to you: think about your children, about their future, and begin to put pressure on the leaders of Hamas to change direction. At this point in time it's a road to nowhere. If you change direction, believe me, you will build here, first and foremost, a good future for your children. Start putting pressure on the Hamas leaders."
