Lieberman wants Gaza cut off

Israel’s strategic affairs minister called for cutting power supplies to the Gaza Strip.

Avigdor Lieberman said Thursday he was preparing a proposal for the Olmert government
to declare Gaza, from which cross-border rocket salvoes have surged this month, an independent and hostile political entity. That, he said, would empower Israel to suspend electricity to the Palestinian Authority.

“This absurd situation, in which the Rotenberg power station supplies electricity to the
foundries in Gaza that manufacture Kassam rockets which are then fired at us, has got to stop,” Lieberman told Army Radio.
