Netanyahu says Israel ready to do ‘a lot more’ on Gaza
WASHINGTON, March 26, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu warned Tuesday that he was ready to order further action in the
Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip after airstrikes in response to rocket fire.
“I can tell you we are prepared to do a lot more. We will do what is
necessary to defend our people and to defend our state,” Netanyahu told the
US pro-Israel lobby AIPAC by video link after cutting short a trip to
Washington to handle the crisis.
