In contradistinction to the above, Infrastructures Minister Avigdor Lieberman expressed his intense disappointment today with the government\'s military stance. Lieberman said that Israelis feel that Sharon\'s political landslide has so far accomplished nothing, and that the situation now is even more dangerous than it was under Barak. Minister Lieberman called upon the government to send the IDF into PA-controlled Area A for two days and destroy the Palestinian military infrastructure. Prime Minister Sharon\'s office and some Likud Knesset Members disassociated themselves from Lieberman\'s comments.
Former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, however, appeared to side with Lieberman - a former top aide of his - and called on the government to seize control of the Area A sections from which the Arab terrorists are shooting on Jews. He specifically cited the Abu Sneineh hills overlooking the Hevron Jewish community, as well as Beit Jalla, the Arab village from which terrorist shooting has long rained down on the southern Jerusalem Gilo neighborhood.
