Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) said today (Sunday) that as nothing as yet as been heard from Mohammed Deif, commander of the Hamas military arm, there is reason to be optimistic that he, indeed, was killed in an IAF airstrike during Operation Protective Edge.
"But we most likely won't see the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip," Liberman commented, adding, "The whole issue of a long-term ceasefire agreement in the near future is time sensitive."
