“Just as we are determined to bring all the hostages home, we will demonstrate the same determination in ensuring that Hamas is disarmed,” he said in a statement, according to The Times of Israel.
“We will not stop or let up until Hamas no longer presents a threat to the State of Israel,” he added.
Israeli opposition party slams passage of Gaza resolution
Avigdor Lieberman, an ultranationalist politician who leads the Yisrael Beytenu party, has criticised the Israeli government over the passage of the UN resolution on Gaza.
“What happened tonight at the UN is a result of the Israeli government’s failed conduct,” he wrote on X. “The decision led to a Palestinian state, a Saudi nuclear [programme] and F-35 planes for Turkey and Saudi Arabia.”
“This is a fire sale of Israel’s security. The face of the Middle East is changing, and not to our benefit,” he added.
