The 15-point Gaza Board of Peace plan grants Hamas’s military wing $160 million in cash, Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman claimed in an X/Twitter post on Wednesday.
The claim followed a KAN report on Tuesday, which noted vague wording in the agreement saying that up to $400 million would be transferred to Gaza “suppliers and contract holders.”
According to Liberman, Hamas has an existing agreement with those same suppliers that $160 million of the total be transferred directly to the terror group’s military wing in cash.
היום ביקרתי בעוטף עזה, בכרם שלום, בבסיס האמריקאי החדש הנבנה סמוך למעבר, שאמור לקלוט את הכוח הבינלאומי שצפוי להתפרס ברצועה ולעזור לחמאס להשתקם מחדש, ובבארי שם נפגשתי עם רבש”צים.
מה שראיתי ושמעתי מדאיג מאוד, ואני רוצה לשתף את חברי הקבינט המדיני ביטחוני בכמה פרטים שראש הממשלה… pic.twitter.com/o3hGacVGzs

Liberman says he reached these conclusions during a visit on Wednesday to the Gaza Envelope, including the Kerem Shalom Crossing and the still-under-construction US base. He described what he witnessed as “deeply alarming.”
He further claimed that “not a single (IDF) soldier remains” in the area between the Purple Line and Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip.
IDF ordered not to strike Hamas training exercise practicing invasion of Jewish settlements
Regarding IDF action in Gaza, Liberman described the military as being significantly hindered by both the United States and Israel’s political echelon.
“When the CENTCOM (US Central Command) commander visits the American base in the south, it means that Netanyahu has given up the ability to make security decisions independently, and even to move a patrol, American approval is required,” Liberman said.
He noted a recent incident he was alerted to during his trip, in which IDF commanders came across a group of 50 Hamas Nuhkba terrorists who were conducting a training exercise in which they practiced raiding a Jewish settlement.
“IDF commanders in the field requested to act immediately for a targeted neutralization of all the terrorists, but the directive from the political echelon was: ‘You don’t touch anyone, not even fire a single warning shot,'” he said.
“This is a capitulation to terror, and a return to the policy of containment and the conception that led to October 7.”
