“We affirm that no one is responsible for the crime apart from the Zionist enemy, and it will not succeed in any of its declared or hidden attempts to disclaim or to shuffle the cards,” Abu Obeida said.
The spokesman said Liberman’s comments were a sign that Israel was afraid after Hamas vowed revenge over the killing.
