Minister Yoav Gallant justified, this morning, the transfer of Qatari money to Gaza, saying, "We are not starving two million hostages in order to harm the terrorists."

Interviewed by Israel Defense Forces Radio, the retired general estimated, "There will be another campaign in Gaza - we will choose the timing and the conditions. At the same time, in the current situation there is an interest in maintaining quiet. It is better to stop the transfer of money for a certain period of time than to switch to a war process."
