I'm glad you're trying to do real reporting on this Likud meeting quote - it's rather remarkable that Eli wasn't familiar with it. Have you done a similar dig into the stories about Israel pushing Qatar to continue funding Hamas for essentially the same reason? I suppose you could argue that funding Gaza is different than funding Hamas, but that's rather contradictory to the idea that Hamas controls everything in Gaza.

Thank you! I agree, I would have never expected someone at his level of involvement with this subject wouldn't know about that quote.
