Israeli politician says Netanyahu supplied weapons to Gaza gangs to counter Hamas

Israel delivered weapons to gangs in Gaza on Prime Minister Netanyahu’s orders, Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Avigdor Lieberman told Israeli public broadcaster KAN.

"Under the prime minister’s orders, Israel is transferring weapons to criminals in Gaza who are affiliated with ISIS, as a counterbalance to Hamas," Lieberman said, referring to the Islamic State group.

"As far as I can tell, this wasn’t approved by the cabinet, and I’m not sure the IDF chief of staff even knows about it. No one can guarantee these weapons won’t be used against Israel."
