Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev praised the news that the United States had added Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh to its terrorist watch list. "The US policy of zero tolerance for terrorism was given added significance today with the declaration of Haniyeh as a terrorist. Anyone who deals with terror, breathes terror and lives terror is a terrorist" said Regev. "The terrorist entity in Gaza is wasting the future of Gaza's residents, drowning it in death tunnels with no future and no hope. We welcome the important decision of the United States that leads a direct and non-obtrusive line against terror."
