Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman tweeted on Sunday that “Israel allowed the hand over of tens of millions of [US] dollars to Hamas as protection money.” Liberman added that Hamas got the funds, waited until the Qatari envoy Mohammed al-Emadi left the area “and began firing right away.” The Yisrael Beytenu leader said that the current policy of “giving in to terror is simply a disgrace.”
