Lieberman: Next Israel government should destroy Hamas

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that toppling the Palestinian movement Hamas should be the top priority of the next Israeli government.

"Hamas continues to dig tunnels and upgrade rockets because the Israeli leadership is weak," Lieberman said.

"This is why Israel has to change its way of dealing with this terrorist movement [Hamas]," he added, according to Israel Public Radio.

Lieberman said Israel could only sign an agreement with Hamas to prevent any future military confrontations when the group's leaders were eliminated.
