As tensions grow between the Gaza Strip and Israel, Israel's Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman made strong comments regarding attacks on Israel from Gaza. He stated that future hostiles toward Israel from Hamas would be the last due to the fact that Israel would "completely destroy them". This comment comes after Lieberman offering support for a two-state solution as well as hoping to help rebuild Gaza.
In my personal opinion, peace and stability in the Middle East, particularly in Israel, is a key to a prosperous world, let alone United States. However, bone-headed decisions by not only Israelis, but by Palestinians have led to a situation that does not see compromise any time soon. Lieberman appointment was another extremist decision made by the most right-wing government is Israel's history. A number of those part of Netanyahu's cabinet refuse to even recognize Palestine as a state. This proves no surprise that they would appoint someone who threatens war and suffering to a group of people. However, the Gaza Strip elected an Extremist Islamic group as their governing body, who has stated that they intent to destroy Israel. Thus, there is room for understanding of Israel taking an extreme stance.
