Zionist Union MK Omar Bar-Lav called on Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman to resign following his increasingly hawkish threats vis a vis Hamas.

"A defense minister who declares that he is against the normalization ed by the prime minister and in favor of a hard military strike against Hamas, to which the IDF opposes, and the policy he leads is unacceptable," said Bar Lev, adding that Liberman should "lay down the keys and resign, and not lead us to war".
