Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman told Gaza residents in a message translated into Arabic that the choice is theirs to make if they want to live in prosperity next to the state of Israel.
"My message to the people of Gaza is simple," Liberman said in an interview with an Arabic Facebook page run by the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).
"You can choose between poverty and unemployment versus work and livelihood and between hatred and bloodshed versus coexistence and personal security."
