Israel’s Minister of Internal Security said on Monday that plans to occupy the Gaza Strip are on the table for the Cabinet to consider, Quds Net News has reported. However, Gilad Erdan told Israeli military radio that the country prefers calm and the possibility of reaching a deal that guarantees security for all Israelis. These statements of his were made just as Israel police besieged Al Aqsa mosque - the third Holiest site in Islam after Makkah and Madinah, carted away the 5 of the mosque security guards, disrupted mosque functions and assaulted the worshipers including the director of Al Aqsa mosque who was later hospitalized.
Nevertheless, he suggested that occupying Gaza would give Israel a better chance to maintain such calm. “We must be ready to pay the costs of such a step,” he added.
The extreme right-wing minister warned Hamas leaders not to cross any red lines. He pointed out that doing so would see Israel going back to its assassination policy.
Erdan said that he blames Hamas for the rockets fired at Israel from Gaza as its responsible for its territory.
This is a treat coming from the grandsons of the people without homeland some decades back to the children of their benefactors.
Muslims, Palestinians and Arabs have really drank from a cup of humiliation until they decide to break it themselves, otherwise the atrocities committed against them would never cease.
