Israel’s Internal Security Minister says Rantisi’s time will also come.
“PA Chairman Yasser Arafat is not immune; no one is immune anymore. We should stop apologizing for defending ourselves,” Internal Security Minister Tzahi Hanegbi said Monday night in a statement on the assassination of Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.
“The time came for someone to close accounts with him [Yassin],” Hanegbi added. [Hamas political leader Abdel Aziz] Rantisi’s time will also come,“ he warned.
Speaking on Channel One’s Politika program, Hanegbi turned to viewers, saying, ”Israelis watching us now know that, perhaps too late, but nevertheless, the founder of Hamas has been destroyed. He was the main inciter against Israel.“
UPDATE: Haaretz Flash News quotes Minister Hanegbi:
