Least surprising news of the day…

Snip:

A statement released by the prime minister’s office did not deny the allegation, but said “Israel is acting to defeat Hamas in various and diverse ways, upon the recommendation of all heads of the security establishment.”

Speaking to Israel’s Broadcasting Corporation on 5 June, Lieberman – who heads the Yisrael Beytenu opposition party – said “under the prime minister’s orders, Israel is transferring weapons to criminals in Gaza who are affiliated with ISIS, as a counterbalance to Hamas.”

“As far as I can tell, this wasn’t approved by the cabinet, and I’m not sure the IDF chief of staff even knows about it. No one can guarantee these weapons won’t be used against Israel,” he added.

As Hamas’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, confronts a brutal Israeli ground operation in Gaza, the resistance group has also been fighting against gangs of aid looters who are given free rein in the strip and operate under the eye of Tel Aviv’s forces.
