Former Meretz Knesset Member Ran Cohen defended on Monday his warnings that rockets would strike Ashkelon if Israel did not carry out the “Disengagement” that expelled more than 9,000 Jews from Gaza.
“It would have been a lot worse if we had not left,” he said on Yaron Dekel’s “It’s All Talk” program on Voice of Israel government radio.
