Former Defense Minister and Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Liberman welcomed the decision to halt the transfer of funds to Hamas.
"I congratulate Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu on his decision to stop the transfer of Qatari money to Hamas. However, a temporary stop is not enough. We must permanently stop financing terror against ourselves, "Liberman said.
"There is no need to wait for more casualties on our side, we must carry out a preemptive strike and return to a policy of targeted assassinations of Hamas leaders," he added.
