The Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee headed by MK Avi Dichter(Likud) toured the region near the Gaza border to hear from local authorities about security issues and about how government ministries are acting to deal with those issues.
Dichter said that the national investment in the threats from Gaza is the largest defense investment over the last few years and this is justified. The restrictions on Hamas today from our side and from Egypt are part of the reason for the calm in the region.
"We are not responsible for Gaza's problems. They have justly earned the problems they contend with. As Jews, we love to solve other people's problems because we think we are responsible but it isn't and we must be wary of this."
