MK Haim Yellin (Yesh Atid) on Friday criticized the Israeli government’s decision to ease restrictions on Gaza fishermen.
“Netanyahu is once again giving a bonus to the murderous terrorist organization Hamas. While they continue to grow stronger, dig tunnels and train for the next round of violence, the Israeli government increases the fishing area and allows them to approach the border fence,” he said.
“Israel should allow the reconstruction and development of Gaza, but only on condition that Hamas be disarmed and only under strict international supervision. Israel must not cooperate with a rule which does not recognize Israel's existence, acts against it and incites against it.”
“Mr. Prime Minister, we must fully disengage from Gaza and allow the construction of a seaport. The salami tactics will not lead to peace and hope, but only bring about the next round,” warned Yellin.
